If you value your child's teeth as well as his digestion you will never sanction the "bite and sup" method of cuting.
Neither will you agree to the crusts of his bread being left, and you will carotirage him as he grows older to enjoy the well-bullered crusts at the ends of your loaves.
Through the process of baking, cer- tain important chemical changes take place in crusts, which make them of nutritive value to children.

THE complaint that babies cut their teeth with a cold or with a mild attack of bronchitis is fairly common. I am afraid that it is dimcult to avoid the symptoms entirely.
Much can be done, however, by keep- ing him or her in the same temperaturė for a few days while the tooth coming through.
The room should never be aver-hot but the temperature should be even. Rub a little vaseline on the bridge of the nose to relieve nasal congestion, and rub cheat and back will a mixture of olive and camphorated oils.

Over-Crowding

WOULD certainly advise you to abide by your dentist's decklon in this matter if he is a qualified member of his profession.
Very often overcrowding occurs it the second teeth are large, and this aucesaltates the sacrifice of one or two teeth to keep the set evenly spaced.
