The Dental Unit of the State Board
of Education has been stationed here
for the past three weeks. The nurses,
Miss Knight, and Miss LaMae, have
examined and cleaned the teeth Of all
the children in the grammar grades.
They seem to be very capable young
ladies. The boys and girls in these
grades were glad to get the treatment
and advice. The student body of the
high school wanted the same but could
not get it, as they were supposed to
know enough to take care of their
teeth. In the grades they examined
and cleaned the teeth of 127 children;
the ages varying from 6 to IL years.
Only one child refused to receive the
treatment, for reasons unknown. They
found only eight mouths needing no
filings. The most astonishing of all
IS that in the 127 mouths, they found
1872 cavities. They also found 80 chill
iren who never used a tooth brush,
and 81 who occasionally used one.
This shows that about 70 per cent of
he children effectively use the tooth
)rush. There were also found II chill
lren who have slight Inflammation of
he gums, and 1S who had extreme in
iammation of the same. 1t was also
that 35 permanent teeth
we're missing, and that many of the
children will go through life, not be-
ng able to properly masticate their
God. There were SO children who had
light malacclusion and 1S extreme
ases. In the very youngest children
hey found 20 temporary assesses
nd six permanent cases. There were
1 cases of slight, 12 cases of medium,
nd II cases of extreme tartar growth.
here were only ten children who did
lot have stained teeth, in a slight,
Medium or extreme form. The nurses
distributed rs tooth brushes and went
l every room and gave a demOnstra-
on lesson, on "How to Use the
Doth Brush" and also gave talks on
he care of the teeth.
