It is as I have said many times, only by starting Cental Care at an early age
before bad habits are formed, that good teeth and oral hygiene can be achieved.
I would like to conclude by thanking the Head Teachers and Teachers in
all the schools in which School Dental Inspections took place for their
co-operation and help, which is very much appreciated.
