VI. DENTAL TREATMENT.
I have to report an increase in the number of patients treated
compared with 1930. During this year 6,357 patients were treated
entailing 12,771 attendances, an increase of 537 patients treated
and 95 attendances. This is more gratifying since no locum tenens
was provided during the holiday season.
There is a fall in the number of school-children treated, due
possibly to the opening of an additional L.C.C. School Dental
Clinic near the Bermondsey Centre.
The tuberculosis cases include 37 children from the Nightingale
House Open-air School.
Four visits were paid to the Rotherhithe Maternity and
Child Welfare Centre to inspect toddlers in connection with an
investigation into ear, nose and throat disease of children.
A few patients unable to attend the centre have been treated
in their homes.
The X-ray apparatus continues to prove a great boon both
to patient and dental surgeon.
