Some good dentists don’t adver- tise, and some poor dentists do ad- vertise. There Is Only One Kind of Dentistry ¥ ONE KIND OF DENTISTRY. That is the kind used by the big majority over. When a dentist tries to tell you he has something of which he is the assure you that that dentist is either taking advantage of your confidence and ignorance of dentistry, or he lacks experience. a dentist who really has something which is a benefit to humanity and not willing to dentists know what it is and tries to commercialize his idea should be ostrascized by the q So as I any because a dentist advertises it should not prejudice you, especially if he is |.
