Report of the Chief Dental Officer for the year 1970
Continuing efforts to persuade more parents to
seek early dental treatment for their children
was reflected in a slight increase in the number
of pre school children, examined, and treated
during the year
More treatment was also provided for
expectant and nursing mothers, which was a
reversal of the trend exhibited in past years
Both these increases probably substantiate
the prediction made in my report as Principal
School Dental Officer for the year 1968
concerning the increasing importance of local
authority dental service in future years.
