    ARTIFICIAL TEETH. In the matter of Artificial Teeth Mr. Foley provides porcelain crowns, adjusted to the roots of the teeth with gold bridge attachments. Thus is produced a WONDERFULLY PERFECT RESEMBLANCE TO NATURE. All unsightly fastenings and artificial palates are dispensed with—a system attended with this great and beneficent result, viz.—that the NATURAL PALATE IS LEFT PERFECTLY FREE for taste and articulation. PRESERVING THE OLD TEETH. Of course, as a conscientious Dental Practitioner, and as one whose desire is not merely to obtain business, but to do permanent good to his patients, Mr. Foley’s first anxiety is to PRESERVE THE PATIENT’S NATURAL TEETH, if this be at all possible, because if a decayed tooth be properly and perfectly stopped and crowned it MAY LAST FOR MANY YEARS. CHILDREN S TEETH. Nor is Mr. Foley’s professional skill confined to adults. He does not disdain, as do some dentists, to give equal attention to the irregularities of children’s teeth. Let parents bear in mind that by TAKING THEIR LITTLE ONES TO MR. FOLEY they can have their children’s teeth mechanically regulated with not only PERFECT RESULTS, but also without THE SLIGHTEST PAIN TO THE LITTLE PATIENT. Much depends upon early attention to children’s teeth. If parents desire to ensure for them a good permanent set of teeth, it is advisable to have the first teeth examined from time to time, and regulated by the best available dentist, before t-he permanent ones are fully in position. In the case of children placed for this purpose under the care of Mr. Foley a more regular and altogether better set of permanent teeth will undoubtedly be secured.
