telligent acceptance of necessary dental treatment for
their own children when the time comes. I still hope
for the time when all expectant mothers first attending
a Maternity Clinic will be sent as routine procedure to
the dental department for inspection and treatment,
but although this may present certain administrative
difficulties at present I wish to thank the Medical,
Nursing and Health Visiting Staff for their very loyal
co-operation in urging early dental treatment, and to
assure them that their efforts are producing most
gratifying results.
The treatment of the two County Schools undertaken
by this Authority still demands considerable time,
newcomers to the school so often presenting conditions
requiring numerous fillings and extractions. The
pupils of these two schools however invariably become
excellent attenders and the percentage of refusals is
quite small.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. H. FOY,
l.d.s., r.c.s. (eng.),
Senior Dental Officer.
