Treatment
Of 13,753 children referred for treatment (including
specials) 7,950 (57.8 per cent.) were treated and 5,669 (41.2
per cent.) cured completely, compared with 16,863 referred, 8,978
(53.2 per cent.)treated and 6,617 (39.2 per cent.)cured in 1958.
Treatment sessions decreased from 2,761 to 2, 556, principally
because of a reduction of sessions by part-time dentists.
Until the needs of each respective area can be more effectively
met, all available energy is being concentrated on the
provision of an adequate basic treatment.
Children whose mouths show them to be specially prone to
decay are placed on a rota for more frequent call-up and are not
required to wait until the next school inspection.
