Selected passages

“EVERY person, in whatever position in society, surely needs to keep his or her natural teeth healthy and functional throughout life.”

“Most people who brush their teeth at all try to follow some such faulty method.”

“The U.S. Public Health Service is another vast, authoritative, influential government agency in which effective personal oral hygiene, and the resulting prevention of dental disease could be promoted; but it is not.”



"A Clean Tooth Does Not Decay, nor does periodontoclasia occur about a clean tooth." C. C. Bass, M.D.
