better opportunities for advancing the dental profession’s interest in public health, they prefer to hold their annual meeting at the time of the meeting of the American Dental Association. Other organizations they desire to maintain close relationship with are the American Society for the Promotion of Dentistry for Children, the Educational Committee of the A.D.A., all other health profes sions and agencies and the National Educational Association. In fact, they desire to establish harmonious relation ships with any legitimate organization or group that can assist in making the
dental public health program more ef fective. It can be seen that the Amer ican Association of Public Health Den tists is justly proud of its parentage and, while hopeful of serving and cooperating with all public health agencies, has no intention of divorcing itself from den tistry. The organization keenly appreciates its obligation and the responsibility for main taining the ideals of the organized pro fession, and, I feel sure, will bend every effort to assure dental health and pre ventive dentistry its rightful place in the field of public health.

D E N T IS T R Y AS A H E A L T H S E R V IC E In the office of Ozman J. Fusilier, of Dearborn, Mich., the following statement is prominently displayed: In this office we attempt to render a health service. We do not sell gold, silver or teeth, and when we quote a fee it is not for the materials we use, but for the service we render. We don’t guarantee anything except that we will do our best to give a health service because we are dealing with liv ing tissues and we cannot honestly guar antee that a filled tooth will not decay again or that the soft tissues of the mouth will not shrink under a denture any more than your physician can honestly guar antee that you will not catch another cold after he has helped you get rid of one. How well work done in the mouth
holds up depends on several things, some of the most important being your gen eral health, which your physician can help you maintain, periodical checkup, prophylaxis and repair of your mouth by your dentist, your diet, habits and home care of the mouth, for which you are responsible. The old idea of calling your physician when you have had a nervous breakdown or running to your dentist when you have a toothache is false, unsound and out moded. The thing we stress in health service today is prevention, not cure. It is much wiser, healthier and more eco nomical to keep the body well than to try to cure it after it is sick, and that is true of teeth, heart, kidneys, joints or any other part of our bodies. There is no cure so good as prevention.
