Report of the Chief Dental Officer
for the year 1968
During 1968 treatment of mothers and children
continued at about the same level as the
previous year Once more all who asked for
treatment received it but the demand from
parents of pre school children has continued
to be less than desirable
By the time children entered school many
have primary teeth which are beyond saving by
ordinary routine dental procedures and it is
clearly important that every effort should be
made to persuade parents to seek dental care
for the children by their third birthday
