In 1962, 4,623 children were inspected at school and of

In the latter part of the year a Dental Auxiliary was
appointed at the clinic for two days per week. Miss croome's
standard of work is very high and she also did very useful
work in the field of dental health education in the from of
talks and the showing of films and slides in several school.
An orthodontic specialist now attends the clinic once
a month.

Bexley.
I have very much enjoyed working here and find the
clinic most pleasant and well equipped. Practically all the
children who commence treatment follow it through to completion,
and most attend at regular intervals for check-ups
