TUBERCULOSIS DENTAL CLINIC.
Report of Dental Surgeon.
Mr. C. Hammond Williams, Dental Surgeon, submitted the following
report:—
I have the honour to submit my Annual Report of the work carried
out at the Tuberculosis Dental Clinic for the year 1927.
The following are the figures, showing the work done:—
51 Sessions have been held.
57 New Patients have attended.
192 Total Attendances.
63 Fillings.
317 Extractions.
66 Scalings.
In addition dentures have been supplied and minor treatment
performed.
The old difficulty of the coincidence of sanatorium and dental
treatment still exists; it seems that this cannot be overcome. Similar
difficulties in relation to the change of premises as occurred in connection
with the Maternity and Child Welfare Dental Clinic, arose in this instance,
which tended towards a slowing up of the work for a time. But
the advantages of the new premises are apparent now that we are properly
installed.
Great care continues to be exercised in disinfecting and ventilating
the rooms after each Session. This applies also to the equipment and
instruments.
Again may I take the opportunity of thanking all those who have
always assisted in the work at the Clinic.
C. HAMMOND WILLIAMS, L.D.S., R.C.S., Eng.
