Because it truly is a menace to the nation's health. If this sounds exaggerated to you, just ask your dentist. Let him tell you how prevalent it is and how serious are the conse quences. When causes of tooth decay are removed, children do better work in school, men and women feel better, look better and actually live longer. Authorities support these statements. As a student of humanity, Oliver Wendell Holmes realized how much good, sound teeth contrib ute toward personal charm. And as a physician he could appreciate their relation to good health. He wrote: "Towoman...thereisno element of her wondrous beauty which can take the place of white, even, well shaped teeth. And as beauty is not a mere plaything, but a great force, like gravity or electricity, the art which keeps it, mends it, and, to some extent, makes it, is of corresponding importance." Preventive dentistry is vital to humanity. Its importance can't be overestimated. Tooth decay must be combated with every means that science can com mand. Give yourself a chance!
