Eskimo Carves New Upper Plate From Walrus Tusk
A Baffin Island Eskimo who broke his upper denture two years after it was made carved a new plate from a walrus tusk. Dr. R. S. Robertson of Co Bourg Ontario praised the solo craft, noting it fit well and was comfortable. He plans to report on Arctic native dental health and warns that digestion of cooked foods worsens oral care among Eskimos near Arctic posts.
