Orthodontics
The orthodontic department at the Caryl Thomas Clinic is now in a
position to deal with new cases referred, without the delay experienced in
previous years.
Dental Health Education
A dental health campaign in schools was held in November. The
schools taking part were in the Harrow and Pinner districts and approximately
6,000 children were involved. Thanks are due to the Oral Hygiene
Service for their support. Also to the Fruit Producers' Council for the
large supply of apples donated.
Members of the dental staff, both dental officers and dental surgery
assistants, took an active part in the talks and demonstrations which
preceded the educational film. The Health Education Officer, Mr. Anderton
gave valuable service in the organisation of the campaign.
In the course of the year talks and demonstrations, on similar lines,
were given on request to young mothers, groups and also to a Pinner Cubs
Group.
Dental hygiene posters, suitable for very young children, were supplied
to the Harrow Pre-school Playgroup Association.
