DENTAL INSPECTION AND TREATMENT.
We were unable to increase our staff of four
to the approved establishment of six Dental Officers,
so that it was impossible to undertake the number of
dental inspections at school at which we aim. Pour
thousand eight hundred and two children were actually
treated, compared with over six thousand the previous
year.
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT.
The orthodontic treatment of school children
was maintained at your Dental Clinics, and
one hundred and fifty-nine orthodontic aopliances were
provided.
EAR, NOSE AND THROAT CLINIC.
t
Mr. Courtemay Mason, F.R.C.S., Consulting Ear,
Nose and Throat Surgeon, continued to hold weekly
sessions at Central Clinic, and eight hundred and
thirty-nine attendances were made.
Two hundred and twenty-six children received
operative treatment for ear, nose and throat
conditions at King George Hospital, Ilford;
Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford; and St. Mary's
Hospital, Plaistow.
