From the above Statistics it will be noticed that 42 children are
suffering from Mal-occlusion and cannot receive treatment owing to
lack of time. As Mal-occlusion is one of the chief causes of Caries,
something must be attempted, and reference is further made to this
in Section 3 of the Report.
SECTION II.
The Maternity and Child Welfare Dental Scheme.
The work in connection with the above Scheme has been performed
entirely in spare time, and has no provision for the Inspection
and Treatment, if necessary, of the children between the ages of
Birth and Five years of age, but has dealt with the Inspection and
Treatment of Expectant and Nursing Mothers. The mode of procedure,
prior to the actual Treatment, which has been adopted, is very
simple, namely:—Any person attending the Maternity and Child
Welfare Clinic is eligible for Dental Treatment, and on application
for Dental Treatment to the Medical Officer of Health or his representatives,
is provided with a card as follows:—

due course.
