carie in the individual, visual inspection and x-ra. · film examina- tion are the only certain methods avail- able. ince no one knows how long it takes for a cavity to develop whether caries is a slow steady or intermittent proces or both there can onl/ be one ure way of examining for tooth decay and his i th · ugh the periodic Yisual and x-ray examination of the teeth. Periodic routine x- ·ay examinations are essential for the di covery of all tooth decay in ev- ery mouth.

Where marked caries activity has been indicated that part of the caries control program that is dietary regulation, may be of distinct alue. There can be no doubt that an adequate, well-balanced diet during and after tooth formation is best for good general and dental health. Spe- cial diets should be recommended only for those patients who are truly cooperati e.

Sustained interest in a well-balanced, re- fined carbohydrate-free diet is us ually more than the average patient can w ith-

Th Control of Diab te and D ntal Carie.

In connection with diet and dental caries it might be of interest to the reader to know that the dental chool pedodontics department has es- tablished lia on with the Riley Hospital children's

diabetic clinic which meets e ery Thursday from 1 to 2 p.m.. There are OYer 50 children associ- ated with this clinic. Mo t of these children have been under supervision for several years.

It is possible for the J>edodontics department with the facilities of this clinic to study tooth decay in these youngster and also to study the effect of well-balanced, low carbohydrate diet upon oral health.

Flzwrine Used Internally

It ha been shown that fluoride in the drink- ing water at a level of 1 to 1.5 ppm is effective in T ducing tooth decay. It ha been uggested that thi fluoride is absorbed by the body an.J
