DENTAL CLINIC.
A Dental Clinic is established at No. 28, Lower Clapton Road,
bi-weekly sessions being held.
Expectant and nursing mothers and children are referred from
all the Infant Welfare Centres in the Borough to this Clinic for
treatment.
Under this scheme the Council's Dental Surgeon, Mr. H. C.
Middleton, L.D.S., and the Anaesthetist, Dr. Montague Smith, are
paid a fee for each attendance at the Clinic. Payment is also made
to the Dental Surgeon in respect of the supply of dentures.
Those patients who are able to contribute towards the cost of
their dental treatment are charged fees of 1s. or 2s. for the course
of treatment, excluding dentures.
The scale of charges for the supply of dentures is the same
as that operating in the case of the supply of milk to necessitous
cases, the maximum charge to those persons coming within the scale
being £4 for a complete set of dentures (upper and lower). If,
however, the income of the family is more than that allowed under
the scale, the National Health Insurance scale is applied, i.e., an
amount from £4. 10s. 0d. to £6. 10s. 0d., according to circumstances.
Every applicant for dental treatment is required to fill in a
special "Dental Treatment Application Form," to be obtained only
