To the School Medical Officer,
County Borough of East Ham
Education Committee.
Sir,
I have much pleasure in submitting to you my first Annual
Report upon the work done in the School Dental Clinic during
the year 1920.
Every school has been visited and treatment offered, whenever
necessary, to all children from 6 to 8 years of age; 5,731
children were examined, and 4,593 were referred for treatment,
i.e., 80 per cent, had teeth requiring attention, only 20 per cent.
having teeth sound and free from decay. In addition 1,084
children under 5 and over 8 years of age, recommended for treatment
by the School Medical Officers, Nurses and Teachers, have
received treatment; these latter cases are included under the
heading "Specials" as well as in their respective age group
columns in the following statistical tables :—
