MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE DENTAL SCHEME.
The Dental Scheme for mothers and young children, started
in 1928, continues to do good work.
The cost of dentures for mothers, in excess of what the
mothers are able to pay, was borne by the Voluntary Committees
of the Centres until 1936, when it was taken over by the
Maternity and Child Welfare Committee.

The following is a record for the year of the Dental Clinic for Mothers and Children.
