inspected and treated twice during the year viz:
Bromley Road Infants and Junior Mixed and Senior
Mixed, Churchfields Senior Girls and Alexandra
Senior Boys, The number of children thus dealt with
was 358 and for statistical purposes I have classed
them as "Specials".
The results of the Inspections were as follows:-
No. of inspections 42
No. of Children inspected 3845 Routine
358 Specials 24,303
No. of Children referred 2765 Routine
242 Specials 3,007
No. of Children refused 6245 Routine
63 Specials 708

The figure for fillings is lower and that for
extractions higher. The fact that there were 2461 more
children in the age group 5-8 years accounts for this
and also for the increase in the number of anaesthetics
cases viz: 88.
The extraction of permanent teeth numbered 482 and
of these 73 were sound teeth removed for regulation
purposes and 4 were supernumerary teeth, a total of 77,
thus reducing the loss of teeth due to caries to 405.
The number of cases of irregularity treated by
extraction was 58, and by mechanical means 11. One
denture was supplied to replace a badly fractured upper
incisor.
The treatment of secondary school children, as
indicated in the report for 1940, was carried out by
the Kent Education Committee's Dental Surgeon at the
Town Hall Clinic each Wednesday.
