DENTAL REPORT.
This service continues to expand, and the opening of a fourth
dental clinic at the Town Hall in May, 1946, has made attendance
for dental treatment much easier for those patients who live in the
central Tottenham district.
Comparative figures show that 772 expectant and nursing mothers
attended as against 531 in 1945, an increase of nearly 50%.
Three hundred and ninety-seven attendances were made by
children under five years of age who had been referred to the dental
clinics from Toddler clinics or had been dentally inspected at the
day nurseries.
The main categories of treatment were:—
Extractions 1,539
Fillings 1,071
Scalings 243
Dentures supplied 157
