THE SCHOOL DENTAL SERVICE.
I am indebted to the Senior School Dental Surgeon, Mr.
Pilbeam, for the particulars contained in this section of the report.
The work of the School Dental Service consists chiefly in
the inspection and treatment of school children. In addition, the
treatment of patients referred under the Maternity and Child
Welfare, Tuberculosis and Mental Deficiency Schemes is undertaken
by the same dental staff. Figures relating to these sections
of the work is dealt with under the appropriate headings.
The number of children attending the Public Elementary
Schools is approximately 27,030. Of this number 18,087, i.e.,
66 per cent., were actually inspected, and 13,029, i.e., 72 per
cent. of the number inspected, were referred for treatment.
Parents of 8,121 children consented to treatment, and 7,773 were
actually treated, so that 95 per cent. of those children whose
parents desired Clinic treatment were actually treated.
The age groups dealt with were 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and
14 years for re-inspection, 5 and 6-year-old entrants, and the
whole of the children attending Central Schools.
