There are two Clinics at Stratford (Mr. Dick and Miss Gubb),
one at Rosetta Road (Miss Marsden), one at Swanscombe Street

The following figures for the year show the amount of work
done:—
21920 children inspected.
4189 "Specials."
15409 found to require treatment.
10805 given treatment.
The following remarks and comments are abstracted from the
individual reports of the Dental Surgeons:—
Mr. Percy reports—
There has been a larger attendance at the Clinic in the past
year than heretofore, and more children from the routine
inspection have presented themselves for treatment.
At the School for Deaf and Dumb, all cases selected for
treatment attended.
A great number of children who were recommended to the
various Convalescent Institutions have been specially dealt with.
I have certainly noticed a marked improvement in the oral
conditions of the younger children, which I attribute to the early
treatment given at the Welfare Centres before school age.
Mr. Dick reports:—
The figures for the year deviate very little from those of
previous years, showing that the work is necessarily continued on
the same lines. It is to be regretted that such a large number
of extractions are required, as this leaves less time for conservative
work than is desirable.
