VI. DENTAL TREATMENT.
One alteration in the time-tables of the dental centres has
been made during the year. In the first week of May the Friday
evening session at 110 Grange Road was closed and an additional
session was added to those at 98 Rotherhithe New Road.
The total number of patients treated during the year was
7,634, a very slight increase as compared with last year; the
number of attendances has also risen and generally speaking
every branch of the work shows a slight increase this year. Both
centres are working almost to full capacity, and on one or two
occasions prosthetic work has had to be sent out in order to avoid
undue delay in the provision of dentures.
The building operations do not seem to have interfered with
the work of the centre at 110 Grange Road, and we are anticipating
with pleasure the opening of the new building with its more
commodious quarters. Alterations are contemplated also at
98 Rotherhithe New Road, and it is hoped that the accommodation
of the dental clinic there will be increased, particularly with
regard to the waiting-room for patients.
