MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE DENTAL CLINIC.
Mr. C. Hammond Williams, L.D.S., R.C.S. (Eng.), the Dentist in
charge of the Dental Clinic, has submitted the following report:—
I beg to submit my Annual Report of the Dental Work carried out
during the year 1928, in the Maternity and Child Welfare Dental Clinic.
The figures are as follows:—
51 Sessions were held.
268 New patients.
791 Attendances were made.
95 Fillings were inserted.
113 Scalings.
1,807 Temporary and permanent teeth were extracted.
In addition the usual routine work in the way of dressings, dentures
etc., was carried out.
It will be observed that in every case our figures are increased over the
previous year, though the number of sessions is the same. This is very
gratifying. The number of children attending last year seemed to be
greater than previously, in fact some difficulty was experienced in coping
with them at times. By the addition of extra anaesthetic sessions the
accumulation of cases was reduced by the end of the year.
Our new premises are giving great satisfaction, and it is usual for
visitors to remark on these and our equipment. Our figures are proof of
our popularity—if one may use the word.
May I again thank you and all your staff for their very valuable
assistance.
