The voice of Santa Claus boomed

"What do you mean I'm not

A little tyke in the crowd gazing
up at the spotlighted Santa winced

There are some startling statis-
ties on the extent of dental caries
In this country. A recent study
showed that the American people
have 529 000 000 cavities which
need to he filled, an average of
over three and one-half per pre-
son In addition, about 112,000,000
new dental cavities develop each
year.
The dentists of our country are
now devoting more than 75 per
cent of their time to the treatment
of dental caries and ita conse-
quence. If everyone who ha. den-
tal decay should seek treatment,
our dentists would have time for
nothing else.
More startling yet is the propor-
tion of these cavities which are in
the teeth of children. The same
study showed that children be-
tween 8 and 11 years needed 244.-
000,000 of these fillings, and 33 000 -
000 new cavities occur in their
teeth each year. In fact, one au-
thority has estimated that our chil-
dren’s teeth are decaying six time,
more rapidly than they are being
filled
CHILDREN HOLD KEY
The reason the carle, rate
among children is so alarming ta
because the younger generation ia
the keystone in any program for
permanently improving the dental
health of our people
if caries rate of our children is
reduced, they will have fewer se-

“My biggest problem now," says
Santa “is getting the kid. to go

Thus the prevention and control
of dental caries in children has be-
come a major objective for the
dental profession. But all dentists
recognize that thia goal cannot be
achieved by dental research alone
Solution of this problem involves
an attack on another problem.
