Excerpt from The Youth's Dentist, or the Way to Have Sound and Beautiful Teeth: Designed for the More Intelligent Orders of Parents and Guardians, and Containing Some Useful Hints to the Faculty I therefore commence the work, by giving the ad vice of the ancient poets upon the preservation of the teeth, for the purpose of showing the attention which was paid to the mouth in distant ages; and to prevent an interruption in the reading, have placed afterwards, according to numerical order, the notes which relate thereto; they consist of passages from the Greek and Latin poets, in transcribing which, I have had no other ambition, but that of forming an historical chain in our language; and if I have rendered some of them into French, it is because an imitation, or translation of the ancients, has appeared equal to the Original. I then proceed to show the best means, with which we are at present acquainted, of preserving and render ing the teeth good and beautiful. This part, which is the principle, is divided into eight chapters; the first treats of the teeth in general; the second, of the first dentition, or milk teeth; the third is appropriated to the second dentition, or to the secondary and perma nent teeth; the fourth treats of the manner and effects of cleaning the teeth; in the fifth we take a view of those things which are injurious to those organs the diseases of the teeth, and connecting parts, are the sub jcet of the sixth; certain operations relative to, those parts, are indicated in the seventh and the eighth and last chapter is destined to the examination Of certain prejudices, respecting the care which the teeth require.
