Your Teeth by Rea Proctor McGee D D S
Time lies in wait for every man and will get him sooner or later if something else doesn't. When time begins to get a man the question is how well is he prepared to resist the downward drag of years. It must be terribly disconcerting for a man to suddenly have the skids knocked out from under him and to miss the pleasure of the long quiet twilight of life. It is a fact that men and women past fifty with perfect teeth are remarkably free from chronic disease. There are people seventy to ninety with nearly perfect teeth and splendid health, suggesting a link between good teeth and good health in old age. Many old people are vigorous with well fitted artificial teeth, often healthier than those with advanced pyorrhea or abscessed roots. Artificial teeth are preferred to diseased natural teeth and are made from porcelain. Careful study has been devoted to shapes, colors, types, and contours of porcelain teeth, and the fitting of plates has become an exact science in America. If we keep our machinery in good repair as we go, we will have no regrets when the time comes to slow down and jog along to the end of the road.
