Second In Scries Primary Teeth Are Important Factors In Normal, Healthy Child Development

(Editor's Note: American Dental Association sponsored the fifth annual National Chil dren's Dental Health Day, Mon day, Feb. 2, to focus public attention on the need for more dental health education and eare for children. The Farm Tille Herald, in co-operation with Farmville dentists, pre sents the second in a series of educational articles about den tal health for children.) Jane. 18. graduated w ith honors from a mid-western nigh school, last June. He^ intelligence quo tient qualified her for college. But Jane decided to take a job as a scrubwoman in a downtown of fice building at night. She said she didn't have the funds for col lege. even though scholarships were hers for the asking. The real reason for this flight from reality was Jane's embar rassment over her appearance. She didn't want people to see her because she had a severe defor mity of the teeth. They were out of position. Her cuspids Jutted out high in the gums, so they looked like fangs. Her incisors or front teeth were widely separated. Her upper jaw protruded over her lower.

Jane's condition is known den tally as “malocclusion,'' meaning irregularities in tooth position. A survey by the Chicago Board of Health showed almost half of Chicago's school children had the condition in varying degrees. One of the chief causes for it, the survey found, was premature loss of primary, or first, teeth. The survey concluded that a ' dis eased primary tooth can be as hazardous as a diseased perma nent tooth.” Here is what happens when a primary tooth comes out too early becaaise of decay: teeth on either side of the gap tend to drift together and close the va cant space. A few years later,

when the permanent tooth Is ready to come in, there isn’t room for it where nature intended. It may. therefore, push its way through high up in the gums. With teeth erupting in odd po sitions in a growing .law, the child's facial symmetry may change decidedly. In this tele vision era. when society is more conscious of the value of beau tiful teeth than ever before, this can be a personal tragedy. No one knows how much .juve nile delinquency stems from the rebellion of a dentally deformed voungster against a society that .tjeerihgly called him "rabbit face." or "Andy Gump," or "drip ping teeth."

Social workers believe there are hundreds of girls like Jane who gave up life coals at an earlv age and retreated from the world. The story of primary teeth neg lect doesn't end with a lost per sonality. Well-functioning teeth are a. necessary part of a child's digestive apparatus, particularly I in a period of rapid growth and i development. With the capacity | to chew affected, proper foods j often cannot be eaten. Neglected primary teeth can be I a factory, too. in gum disease so ! prevalent in later life.
