I continued with one evening session per week at Mayesbrook
Clinic. The evening sessions are very popular with the mothers
because many find it difficult to attend during the day if they are
working or unable to leave their children. Patients attending during
these sessions seem to be more at ease and therefore easier to treat.
Extractions for mothers and children were mainly performed
under general anaesthesia, this being used for almost all the small
children under five because these children do not accept a local
anaesthetic well.
Dental radiographic facilities continued to be available at all
clinics, thus making diagnosis quicker and often saving the patients
pain and time. The high speed Borden Airators used for fillings
continued to be of great value, most patients perferring it to the
older method of cavity preparation.
Partial and full dentures were supplied to patients needing
them, these being made at a local dental laboratory.*
