DENTAL.
Dental Clinics are held at Alperton School, Ealing Road,
Wembley, and at The Kingsbury Free Church, Slough Lane,
Kingsbury, bi-weekly sessions being held at each centre.
Expectant and nursing mothers and children are referred
from all the Infant Welfare Centres in the district to these
clinics for treatment.
The attendances during 1935 are shown on the table.
Dentures are supplied to expectant and nursing mothers
attending these clinics, and during the year twenty-four
applications for full, or partial sets were received and granted.
Fifteen sets were supplied free of charge, in eight cases the
applicants re-paid a proportion of the cost, and in one case
the full cost was re-paid to the Council.

clothing, cooking and in general welfare work. The Maternity
and Child Welfare Committee are very grateful to these ladies
for their assistance.
