Dentures have been fitted as heretofore, and, of course, the routine
work of dressings, adjustments, etc.
It will be noticed that our average attendance per session has fallen
from 18 to 16.7. I am still of the opinion that if this can be reduced to
15 an advantage will be gained in every way.
Another point that has been occupying my attention is the possibility
of filling temporary teeth. As we are situated at present, we are only
able to tackle the unsaveable teeth in a child's mouth. It cannot be
denied that there are many cases where resort to forceps a second time
could be avoided by the repairing of slightly diseased temporary teeth
in the first place. This would be of enormous advantage to the child,
but can only be undertaken with time and considerable patience. Our
sessions seem to be very fully occupied, however, and it is difficult to
see how this mode of treatment could be undertaken as things are at
present.
The return of old patients for further treatment when necessary
continues to hearten us, for it cannot be denied that this shows their
satisfaction with the benefits of the Clinic.
Our equipment, etc., is continuing to give satisfaction though it
must only be expected that time and use have removed a considerable
part of the enamel work.
I should like to express my thanks again to all those who play such
a great part in making the Clinic a success.
