THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL DENTISTS.
The dental work amongst school children has been carried out on
similar lines to that of previous years The special age dealt with has
been that of 6-7 years. Special cases in other age periods have also
been dealt with. Mr. A. Brearley Oddie, L.D S., and Mr. Charles
Lightfoot, L.D.S., are the two dental surgeons. The dental reinspections
have been for the first time fairly adequately carried out
this year.
