The fact that your child does not “seem to have any cavities” does not mean that some decay may not be present. In fact, the American Dental Association has found that dental patients under 4 years of age have an average of three teeth need ing fillings. When a child is exposed to routine treatment at an early age, he rarely develops the fear which many adults have so long associated with dental treatment. The importance of good care for the primary or "baby" teeth cannot be overemphasized. A child needs his primary teeth, as he does his perma nent ones, for chewing, for speaking and for appearance. Also, these first teeth hold the space for the perma nent teeth to come. February 7 through 13 is the 17th annual National Children's Dental Health Week.

Is there anything my children can do to keep from having so much tooth de cay? There are simple rules which, if followed faithfully, can help to reduce decay. These are: 1. Cut down on sweets, especially between meals. 2. Brush teeth immediately after eating (snacks as well as regular m eals.) When this is not possible, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. 3.

Oregon’s tentative official traffic death toll for 1964 set a new all-time record for the state, wiping out a record set in 1963 when deaths top ped the 500 mark for the first time. The 577 deaths reported so far from 1964 accidents represent a two percent increase over the 563 re ported in 1963, according to the 'Traf fic Safety and Education Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The figure may be revised upward or downward as delayed reports are received, or if persons injured die later as a result of the injuries. The official state figure is slightly lower than that reported by one wire service, since the state figure in cludes only those deaths occurring on public streets and highways. Officials said the death toll in cluded 158 people who were thrown from their vehicles at the time of impact. These people, they said, might have been saved had they been wearing seat belts.
