Popular Essays Upon the Care of the Teeth and Mouth (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Popular Essays Upon the Care of the Teeth and Mouth

This work is the outgrowth of the observations made in daily practice. For years the author has noted and deplored the lack of information upon dental subjects that is displayed by people of otherwise great general intelligence. This is the more to be lamented because the subject is a vital one, and the consequences of ignorance must be felt during the whole life. He candidly believes that, were the information contained in this little book generally diffused and its teachings well followed, not only would very much pain and suffering be prevented, but the general term of human life would be perceptibly lengthened.

This book has, therefore, been prepared in the hope that it may in some way be used to spread a knowledge of the importance of the dental organs among the people, especially the young, through the medium of the schools. It has not been written especially for dentists, and hence simplicity of language has been cultivated, and technical terms have been avoided.
