inspection and conservative treatment of children whose parents are prepared to
take advantage of the facilities for the provision of which the School Dental
Service exists.
In order to provide some urgent dental treatment to children whose parents
have not consistently refused or failed to accept conservative treatment, I have
arranged that " casuals " will be seen by the dental surgeons at certain times, i.e.,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8.50 a.m.
It should be understood, however, that the treatment of "casuals" must not
interfere with the treatment of children for whom appointments have been made;
and I shall be glad of the help and co-operation of head-teachers in what is
admittedly a difficult problem by ensuring that children are referred for urgent
casual dental treatment at these times only.
