The Dental scheme as approved by the Board at present comprises
the examination and treatment of all children of the 6—8
year period, inclusive. "Specials" of an urgent nature are
also treated.
All candidates for the Open Air School at Crosby Road or at
Fyfield, or the Ogilvie School at Clacton have their teeth attended
to and mouths put in order before entering the School, as also do
children now due to go to the Summer Holiday Camps.
There are two Clinics at Stratford (Mr. Dick and Miss Gubb),
one at Rosetta Road (Miss Marsden), one at Swanscombe Street
(Mr, Percy), and one at Balaam Street (Mr. Heywood).
Miss Marsden and Mr. Heywood have each been
allotted an area of schools in which to inspect and treat children
of all ages, as suggested by the Board of Education.
The undermentioned Schools come under this Scheme:—
Credon Road Infants'
and Ravenhill Senior
New City Road.
Ravenhill Junior.
Balaam Street Infants'
and Burke Senior.
North Street.
Stock Street Infants'
and Burke Junior.
St. Andrew's.
Rosetta Road Infants'
and Rosetta Senior.
Russell Road.
Holborn Road.
Shipman Road.
Regents Lane.
St. Joachim's.
Custom House Infants'
and Rosetta Junior.
The following figures for the year show the amount of work
done:—
21105 children inspected.
3551 "Specials."
14668 found to require treatment.
10401 given treatment.
The following remarks and comments are abstracted from the
individual reports of the Dental Surgeons:—
Mr. Percy reports—
I find nothing much to add to what has already been said in
past years. In this district, which is a poor one, any refusals for
treatment are almost in all cases due to the charge of one shilling,
or the fear of it.
The attendance, however, still continues to be good and the
treatment appreciated. One can definitely state that the children s
mouths are in a very much healthier condition.
