Dental Report.
Routine dental inspection and treatment for patients in the
above institution is carried out as early as their general condition
permits attendance at the surgery. In the acute stage attention
is confined to those whose dental condition causes discomfort, or
when treatment has been specially recommended by the Resident
Medical Superintendent.
Patients returning to their homes in Croydon before being
rendered dentally fit received appointments to attend Lodge
Road Clinic at a later date for the necessary work to be completed.
