In order to show our readers what they can do to improve their dental health, the Weekly Reflex, in cooperation with the American Dental Assn., today presents the first of a series of articles on Your Dental Health) It begins to look as though tooth decay may lose its title of civilizations most widespread malady. There doesnt seem much likelihood of ever completely eliminating tooth decay as a menace, but authorities do see a dramatic reversal of the present trend and a better chance for everyone to have good teeth. The chances of reducing the toll taken by other dental ailments are also growing brighter. Never before has the dental profession been possessed of so many effective weapons for the prevention of disease, says the American Dental Association. There is little excuse today for the appalling statistics that reflect the enormity of the effects of dental disease. The problem now is basically one of putting knowledge into . top-flig- ht action. Driver Program Is of Benefit to Teen-ag- e Drivers The chief weapon of the dentist is education, because unless the public learns the value of regular dental examinations and of proper oral hygiene and diet, the dentist cannot fully utilize the advances which dental science has made. But with these advances, he hopes to effect a sharp reduction not only in dental decay, but in other dental ailments as well. Periodontal diseases, for example. These are the diseases of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, and the chief reason for loss of teeth after the age of 3.". These diseases actually cause more loss of teeth than does dental decay. Early and regular dental treatment is also important in the aligning of teeth which have come into the mouth irregularly and in the correction of improper jaw relationship. Another effective weapon in the fight against dental disease is the fluoridation of community water supplies. Fluoridation has reduced dental decay by as much as 05 per cent. Another advantage that the young driver may become eligible for under the driver education program is a reduced car insurance rate. The key to this new era for our young drivers is that single work it was exapproved, plained today by G. Ernest Bourne, Executive Secretary of the Utah Safety Council, whose organization sponsored the new legislation. He went on to say that before the youngsters get all hepped up about this thing they must realize and understand that an approved course will be defined by the State Board of Education and the Utah Department of Public Safety. Policy meetings to set the standard and definition of the approved course are being held at the present time by representatives of these agencies. Among the standards which no doubt will be estab-Isihe- d are the requirements that the teachers meet certain qualifications, standard text materials are used, and that instruction must include at least 30 hours of classroom and G hours of practice driving under supervision. We frankly doubt whether any school in Utah is offering that kind of training at the present time. If so, it would be a pleasant surprise to us, People- of - Inherent Good Taste Mr. Bourne concluded.
