DENTAL WORK NEEDED
Children of State Found to Need
Much Attention.

DR.. D. S. Darling, who is doing free
dental clinic work, has just complet-
ed work of several weeks duration in
Glover. and found conditions there to
be the same as everywhere else in the
state. One hundred per cent of the
children needed something done and
the number Of extractions per person
was 2.3 while the filings were seven
to the child. He made 159 extrac-
tons there, but most of these were Of
temporary teeth, which were removed
so the permanent ones could come in.
There is no doubt that the teeth OF
older children need attention fully as
much as the younger, but on account
of lack of funds, it is impossible to
attend to all and the line must be
drawn somewhere. The health Off
Gals look forward to the time when
the movement can be made statewide.
The dental clinic is operated entire
ly by private donations and is under
the direction of the state board of
health, the state board of education
and the Vermont State Dental associ-
alton. Of the many hundreds who
have been asked, only one father OBJ
jected to have his child's teeth treat
ed. In every single case, something
was found to be needed. The teeth are
cleaned and then the child is given a
tooth brush and a can of powder with
which to keep them clean. The
teachers in the schools do their bit by
impressing on the minds of the chill
dren, the necessity Of using the brush
eS.
The business of bringing a fully
equipped dental office into a town
miles removed from place large
10 pAn ISL 00
a tremendous success. 1t is usually
set up in a schoolhouse and the chill
dren, instead of hanging back as some
of their elders do when it comes to
having teeth extracted, seem anxious
for it. The only drawback to the
| work at present is that it is so very
slow. It is simply impossible for
one man to visit more than ten or IL
towns a year and do the work thor
oughly. Several different kinds of
filings are put in, the dentist using
his own judgment. Even where the
child's parents are we'll off financially
no funds are asked and this removes
all prejudice which anyone might have
that he is charity patient. In the
larger towns and cities where den
lists are easily available no effort will
be made to treat the children.
An average of seven or eight fill
ings and between two and three ex-
fractions of teeth are found to be
needed among school children between
the ages of six and IL years through
out the state, according to the report
ic has just completed year of it's ex-
Iistence and during that time about
1000 school children have had their
teeth put right. free of charge. Yer
mont is the only state in the United
States which has rural dental clinic
and is the leader when it comes to
irving to make better teeth for its in
habitants. During the IL months that
the dental clinic has been in evidence
about 1000 filings have been put in
and about 1890 teeth extracted.

Many so-called scrub cows, if fresh

kind of feed and treatment during the

would prove to be money makers.
