Benefits Reaped

"DEFORE the system was in
ID stalled, 80 per cent of the
children in the Atlanta schools
failed to pass their grades" DR..
Walker continues.
In a year the percentage was
down to 8. Before the campaign,
attendance averaged SO per cent;
afterward, it was up to 81.
After the program, coupled with
a general health campaign, had run
for six years, the average percent
age of repeaters was reduced by
hall.
Similar results came from dental
health programs in other cities.
Athens, Ga, reported 100 per cent
good teeth after three years cam
paign. Toronto, Canada, in ten
years reduced cavities in children's
mouths from an average Of seven
to an average OF two.
Five years after a dental health
program was begun in Bridgeport,
Conn, repeaters we're reduced IS
per cent. Cavities in the mouths
OF children in Lake Forest. H., were
reduced by one-third in ten years.
Approximately % per cent Of
the Lake Forest school children
had unclean teeth in 1920. while in
1890 the percentage was down TO Is.
There Is only one answer 10
these facts. Dental health Is in
valuable to the progress OF our chill

capped by bad teeth today, but
they will be even more handicapped
in years to come. when serious COM

It is found that children years

OF temporary teeth with cavities.
So few children had the cavities

attended to and suitably filed that
the number was negligible. Where
as the care of the temporary teeth

possibility of good care for the per-
manent teeth.
Unfortunately, however, there
we're vast numbers of children IA to

teeth nearly were destroyed by de-
cay. Actually. go per cent of all
children of all ages had one or more
teeth decayed, missing or filled.
1t should be borne in mind that

the examinations made by the
school inspectors merely are casual
examinations, and not at all to be
compared with the type Of exam
ination that can be made by pri-
vate dentist, with special instru-
ments, such as mirror and explorer,
to aid in detecting cavities.
For this reason parents should
see to it that every child has its
teeth examined at least once every
six months from the age Of 2 years
onward, to make sure that decay
will be detected at the earliest pos
sible moment and properly con-
trolled by cleaning and filling.
Money spent in this way during
the early years Of life will rep
resent a vast saving over the funds
that will have to be spent later for
artificial dentures that would not
be required otherwise.

Bad Teeth Costly

THE survey revealed that in some
l. localities estimates OF the num-
Der of children needing dental work
ran as high as 90 per cent.
Chicago authorities. estimating
that many children failed in school
because of bad teeth, which resulted
in poor health, estimated that for
this reason dental defects among
school children cost the taxpayers
about S750.OO0 annually
This was. estimated to be the sum
needed to educate "repeaters" who
had failed to pass because OF poor
health due 10 teeth.
'Ninety-six per cent Of the chill
dren examined in Chicago had de-
fective teeth. 90 per cent in Cleve-
land. and IS per cent in White
Plains, N. " DR.. Walker says.
DIR. Luther H. Gulick of New
York City reported that of 10000
children examined. those with two
or more bad teeth averaged five
months behind their proper grade.
In Shamokin. Pa, more than a
tnlrd OF the chlldren did not own
toothbrush, and only 155 out OF
1890 had clean teeth.
Outstanding examples Of how
dental health education aids the
school child to progress also we're
found. however. One OF the best
was in Atlanta, where a steady
campaign has brought amazing re-
suits.
The campaign, under the direction
of Superintendent of Schools Willis
A. Sutton, began in 1924. In one
school where dental instruction and
care were installed, 1900 school
days were saved in years time
At the end Of five years, every child
in all the public schools of Atlanta
was 100 per cent dentally perfect"
