Dental Laboratory
The work of the dental laboratory has been greatly appreciated during the year. The benefit
in having our own laboratory is that each dental surgeon can, at any time, have the closest cooperation
by personal contact with the officers in the laboratory.
In addition to the work undertaken for the London Borough of Barnet prosthetic work for the
Boroughs of Enfield and Haringey was continued. During the year the laboratory provided a total
of 22,574 units of work.
