At all other residential homes outside the borough, arrangements have been
made with local general dental practitioners for examination and treatment, as
required.
Liaison with The London Hospital and local General Dental Practitioners
The Chief Dental Officer's appointment as part-time lecturer in the Department
of Child Dental Health at The London Hospital Dental Institute and to the Dental
Health Study Unit of the Hospital, has facilitated the liaison established between
the Health Department and the Dental Institute.
The treatment facilities available to children in this borough are provided by
dental officers, general dental practitioners and the Dental Institute of The London
Hospital. If the profession is to meet its obligations and to function happily and
efficiently, some liaison must be maintained by the Chief Dental Officer/Principal
School Dental Officer with all concerned. Further developments to strengthen the
ties between the borough's dental officers and the local practitioners, which started
with the Dental Health Campaign, will, it is hoped, evolve during the coming year.
