The use of high speed Borden Airators for cavity preparation
continued to be of great value, in fact it must now be considered
part of modern dental equipment. It is surprising how well small
children accept this method of cavity preparation.
Partial and full dentures were supplied whenever it was considered
necessary for a patient to have them. These being made at
a local dental laboratory.
With the object of furthering dental hygiene, the Essex County
Council introduced, for a trial period, a scheme for the sale of
toothbrushes to parents for the use of children under 5 years of age
and who were attending the Council's Dental Clinics.
The toothbrushes are sold for 3d. each, i.e.. cost price plus
a small handling charge, and the scheme commenced in Ilford on
2nd November, 1964."
