About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 28 SCALING THE TEETH. Persons frequently entertain a strong prejudice against the removal of the tartar, or, as it has been properly termed, salivary calculus, which accumulates on certain teeth; they imagine that by its removal they would be loosened. I hope, however, to convince the reader of these few pages, that the contrary effect is the result, provided the tartar be not formed to too great an extent. If-this deposit be left for any great length of time, the gums will suffer in the first place, and the patient may be aware of its presence by their general tenderness and readiness to bleed on the slightest application of the brush or any hard substance with which they may come in contact; they lose their natural pleasing colour, and become of a dark purple hue. This, however, commonly does not induce the individual to have the pernicious substance removed, and he continues to allow its accumulation until some teeth are nearly enveloped in it, not reflecting what annoyance and distress he must hereafter suffer. The gums and alveolar processes gradually become absorbed, and at length he discovers, to his great surprise, that many of his teeth are loose. He hastens in alarm to a dentist, who often endeavours in vain to convince him that the tartar alone has been the cause of so much mischief; and after great difficulty, however, he may succeed in convincing the patient of his error, who must then be satisfied with the preservation of those (often few teeth) which, on displacing the concretion, can berestored to a sound and healthy condition in their sockets; he is besides compelled either to suffer the inconvenience and unsightly appearance caused by the vacancy of such teeth, or he must have recourse to false ones, which were formerly considered an almost degrading remedy...
