Tooth Decay Rate Said High,
With Little or No Reason
(Editor's note: This is the
first in a series of six articles
being published in coopera
tion with the Southern Oregon
'Dental society in observance
of National: Children's Dental
Health week, to be observed
Feb. 1 to 13. The articles were
prepared under the super
vision of the American Den
tal association.)
If your child follows the usual
-, pattern, he may well be a dental
cripple by the time he is in his
40's.
There is little or no excuse
for this prospect. But the fact
is, according to recent studies,
that the average individual, by
the time he is 41, is likely to
have 19 missing, decayed or
filled teeth.
"The loss of permanent teeth
in children and young adults is
shocking," one noted dental
0 scientist reported. "It is esti
, mated that 40 per cent of our
"children have had at least one
permanent tooth extracted by
the age of 14; that at age 35, one
quarter to one-half of the popu
v lation has or should have artifi
cial dentures."
Most Are Affected
Dental disease affects most of
us at some time. The pain, an
noyance and even facial dis
figurement of dental decay, for
instance, affects 90 to 95 per
cent of the population.
The situation is tragic. It is
tragic because the knowledge is
at hand to control and prevent
this most common ailment of
mankind.
Dentists are agreed that the
effective approach to the na
tion's dental disease problem
lies in instilling the right kind
of dental health habits in our
children early in life and in
making available to them sound
preventive measures.
The responsibility is that of
parents and teachers and others
concerned with the welfare of
our children. Proper attention
to teeth in. childhood pays the
most striking dividends in terms
of life-long dental health.

means that your child can avoid
becoming the dental cripple seen
far too often among young peo
ple today.
