TUBERCULOSIS DENTAL CLINIC.
Report of Dental Surgeon.
Mr. C. Hammond Williams, Dental Surgeon, submitted the
following report:—
I beg to submit my Annual Report of the Dental Work carried out
during the year 1928, in the Tuberculosis Dental Clinic.
Our figures show a decrease in every instance. They are as follows:—
51 Sessions.
154 Attendances.
59 Fillings.
185 Extractions.
56 Scalings.
The difficulty persists that patients are in Sanatoria before their
dental treatment can be commenced. To reduce this, the arrangements
for dental treatment have been revised. We now have two Tuberculosis
Anaesthetic Sessions per month, instead of three Ordinary and one Anaesthetic
Sessions, in the hope of getting the work done more quickly. It is
impossible to say yet whether this will be satisfactory or not.
C. HAMMOND WILLIAMS, L.D.S., R.C.S., Eng.
