Are Your Teeth
in Bad Shape?
you have a bad tooth, perhaps
what you need is a gold crow n te
cover it. I f some teeth
are missing, they can
be replaced by what
is called bridgework,
which means that new
teeth are fastened in
by attaching them to
other natural teeth in your mouth.
Or maybe you need artificial
plates, which can be made so
natural looking that it is not easy
to tell them from real teeth.
The best place to have this kind
of dental work done is at an office
where Registered Dentists use the
E. R. Parker System, because these
dentists make sp ecial arrange
ments with out-of-town patients,
so that fewer visits are required
and you don’t have to call so often.
Prices are always reasonable,
and no charge is made for exam­
inations and advice. There are
