PAINLESS DENTISTRY HELLO 1919 HONEST, GOODBYE 1918 ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC DENTISTRY DENTAL X-RAY DIAGNOSIS A revelation of hidden trouble-—one of the modern Seven Wonders of the world—the X-Ray. What has my Dental X-Ray science done for you? Has the year 1918 slipped past without you regaining absolute dental—hence, physical —health? The recent increase in our knowledge of Mouth Infection and conse. quent disastrous dangers to the general bodily health is due to an ad- vanced technic in making Radiographs of the teeth, and bone and tissues surrounding the teeth. Bad teeth do not come from a bad stomach or from any other part of the body. BUT BAD TEETH: do MAKE a bad stomach. Take an invoice today—count up your total physical energies, and if there is any lacking—if you are not right up to the mark—LOOK TO YOUR TEETH. The only absolute means of a dental diagnosis without guesswork is to employ an able DIAGNOSTICIAN and seek the aid of the searchlight of dental investigation—the X-RAY—in your case. The results for you can be wonderful — to do the exact and necessary work, removing the chronic diseased teeth, treating back to health the curable tissues, and restoring scientifically and without gold crowns, the lost teeth.
