![twilled round fufficiently to bring it into a proper pofition, as hath been often pra&ifed. It may not be improper, in this place, to take notice of a cafe which frequently occurs. It is a decay of the firft adult grinder at an early age, viz. before the tem¬ porary grinders are fhed, and before the fecond grinder of the adult has made its appearance through the gum. In this cafe, I would recommend removing the difeafed Tooth immediately, although it may occafion no kind of trouble j for, if it be drawn before the temporary grinders are fhed, and before the fecond adult grinder has cut the gum, it will in a fhort time not be miffed j becaufe the bicufpis of that fide will fall a little back, and the fecond and third grinders will come a little forward ; by which means the fpace will be filled up, and thefe Teeth will be well fupported. Befides, the removal of this Tooth, will make room for the fore Teeth, which is often very much wanted, efpecially in the upper jaw. •j{ J ' r /<-, f tr r<T r #\ ? v * - nJ l I • * -Cl Ui il .! f.li J .
