Dental PlatesThe Alberta Dental Association has made an announcement that a full upper and lower Denture (two plates) maybe obtained for as low as $35.00.Gall at my office and I will show samples of the plates. All plates are made here in my up-to-date laboratory, where each stage in their manufacture can be fitted in your mouth. This procedure is the only method to obtain a plate that will fit perfectly. I do not know how long this offer will last.Your Dentist is “ up against ” a problem unknown in the history of dentistry before the depression, namely, neglected teeth. He is also “ up against” the sympathy-hunting gossip-monger and the debt-dodgers.Every district has one or two of the above persons. You know them; think it over. Here is an example of what I mean: A woman came to my office not long ago for two extractions. I took out the teeth by freezing, absolutely painlessly. After they were out and lying on my table, I told her jokingly that I could save the teeth; that they didn't have to come out. She replied, “Take them out; they have given me no end of trouble. ” I then showed her the two extracted teeth. A bewildered expression came over her face. She then began laughing and told me that she felt absolutely no pain. In fact, she didn't know the teeth were out. Of course, I felt elated, having accomplished my one professional desire, i.e., to work as nearly painlessly as modern science provides. This same woman met her husband on the sidewalk in front of my office. Up goes her hands to her face and she began howling, ‘‘Oh, oh, oh! He almost killed me. I never suffered so much in all my life.” Hypocrite.I felt like rushing out and calling her a liar. This same sympathy-hunting gossip will go back to her district and tell the same thing to her neighbors. The neighbors pass the same untruth along and it does not take long before the Dentist has an unwarranted reputation of being “rough.” Men are just as bad as women.Next time you are in Peace River please come to my office and let me explain in person. Let me show you the most modern dental office north of Edmonton, equipped with almost every modern device and remedy to obtain painless dentistry.The two most harmful beings to humanity are the sympathy-hunting gossips and the debt-dodgers.Next time you hear someone knocking, think of what I have just told you, then wink and walk away. You will be under no obligation of any kind by coming to my office. On the contrary, you will be doing me a great favor.DR.
