The statistical table shows the actual treatment carried out
during- the past year.
The orthodontic clinics have been held on two sessions per
week as in 1946. Regulation treatment is an essential part of
the School Dental Service and it is much appreciated by parents
and children. The two sessions a week devoted to it were inadequate
to meet the area's needs and the waiting list has been
increasing.
