Neglect or wrong methods of dental hygiene bring on case after case when knowledge and proper methods would have prevented them. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the possibility of curing Pyorrhea. Pyorrhea can often be cured if treated in time, but for the most part it can only be held in check by constant attention. In either case, the pain and expense are great and there is ev. . present the danger of loss of teeth and permanent disfigurement. Pyorrhea can easily be prevented through proper methods of oral hygiene. The reason for this is simple. Pyorrhea frequently begins as an acid irri- tation of the delicate gum edges at the point where they meet the teeth—The Danger Line. If these gum edges are kept healthy—clean and free from mouth acids—there is little danger of Pyorrhea or any other gum disease. Squibb's Dental Cream, made with more than fifty per cent of Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, helps to pre- vent Pyorrhea as nothing else can. It reaches into all of the tiny crevices around each tooth at the gum margin, neutralizing the acids that cause irritation, and at the same time soothes the tender gums. The Milk of Magnesia contained in Squibb’s Dental Cream also reaches into the crevices and fissures on and between the teeth, preventing acid decay. So the people who use Squibb’s Dental Cream usually have healthy mouths.’ At drug stores everywhere. Only 40 cents a tube.
