To Demonstrate Use
of Sodium Fluoride to
Prevent Tooth Decay
Program TO Include Three
Grades of Oakland Elementary

A program demonstrating the use
of sodium huoride as preventative
of dental decay will be inaugurated IN
the Oakland Elementary school in the
near future, officials Of the County
Boards of Education and Health an
nounced this week.
The demonstration will be financed
bv the United States Public Health
Service. 1t will be directed by the
Division of Oral Hygiene Of the State
Department of Health. The project
has the hearty endorsement Of local
practicing dentists. The program Is
expected to serve the dual purpose
of illustrating to dentists the technl-
que of application by which an aver
age 40Dt reduction in dental decay
may be effected among children
treated and, second, to publicize this
preventative measure among parents
of school age children. At an early
date in April demonstration team
comprised of dentist, two dental
hygienists and a clerk will be as
signed to Garrett county. Since only
a short time is possible in each area,
it will be necessary to limit the ser
vice to the second, fifth and sixth
grades.
The children of these grades will

will be followed by cleansing of the
teeth and a series of four applications
of the sodium fuoride solution. This
treatment has repeatedly been shown
to result in a decrease in future dem
tai decay.
Comforting recently with r. Bowen
Hardesty, County Superintendent of
Schools on the program were DR..
George A. hewitt, U.S.P,H. Service
Dental Consultant; DR.. John Fulton,
Children's Bureau Dental Consultant;
DR.. John e. Frank, dentist with the
demonstration unit assigned to Mary
land and Dr. Richard c. Leonard,
CnleI, DIVISION Oh OIdl nNSlele,
Maryland State Department of
Health. In proposing the project to
Mr.. Hardesty they were unanimous in
their urging him to stress the need
for a correct understanding of the
benefits and Limitations of fuoride in
partially preventing tooth decay
They emphasized that:
Fluoride does not prevent all flu
ture decay, and effects reduction in
decay only in those teeth present at
the time of treatment and that appli-
cations may be made only by trained
dental personnel.
1t is anticipated that the team will
spend from one week to ten days in
Oakland All children of the designat-
ed grades will he treated unless par
ents specifically request otherwise.
Parents are invited to visit the school
