LoHipops Bowl Dentists Over
In Hunt for Youngest Cavities
Panel Emphasizes
Inspection Of Teeth
Before Age Of 5

Lollipops, unknowing parents
and just plain fear seem to be
working against an attempt by
local dentists to bring better
dental health to the pre-school
child.
The loilipops are doled out
by some pediatricians, This en-
deavor to pring peace to the
doctors Office is frowned on by
dentists. who feel entirely too
many sweets are gobbled UP by
the pre-school child anyway.
They point to a surprising num-
Der of cavities in this group Of
children.
And parents apparently never
get around to taking their tod
dler to the dentist until the
child has reached the age of five.
BY that time, dentists say. cav
ity damage is already done.
Fear of the dentist in the child
probably stems from parents
who are entirely too outspoken
in the child's presence in their
discussions of dentistry.
At least these things were
brought out at a panel discus
sion on the subject held last
night by the District Dental So
.ciety in the Shoreham Hotel.
It was urged that dentists un-
dertake an education campaign
to impress on parents the need
of dental examination of their
/, 2 or year old child. And a
dentist suggested that pedia-
tricians be asked to stop handing
out lollipops.
Dentists were also told that
the child's fear is a normal
thing, that it can be dealt with
if one is pleasantly positive with
the child. Yet, it was empha-
sized. parents could erase much
of the fear by bringing the child
in at an early age for just a rou-
tine examination of his mouth.
His first meeting with the den
tist, then, would leave a good
taste In his mouth.
Those appearing on the panel
were: DR.. Philip Robin, a pedo-
dentist: DR.. Bennett Olshaker,

By Harold B. Rogers

The District would receive
Federal aid on a matching basis
in its campaign against juvenile
delinquency under q bill intro
duced In the House today by
Representative Javits. Republic
can-Liberal, of New York.
The measure, Mr.. Javits ex-
planned, seeks to coordinate on
a matching basis a Federal pro-
gram with the youth programs
initiated already in many States
and cities.
Authorizing $50 million for
such Federal aid. the bill would
make funds available also to pri-
vate non-profit agencies operat-
ing under the supervision of
State and municipal youth COM
missions.
Asked specifically whether his
new bill would make matching
funds available to the District,
Mr.. Javits said it would. His
measure. he predicted, probably
would be referred to the House
Committee on Education and
Labor for action.
Mr.. Javits, in introducing his
measure. said it is designed to
carry out the recommendations
made by Welfare Secretary
Hobby before a Senate subcom-
mittee investigating Juvenile de-
linquency.
Mrs. Hobby was quoted as
testifying recently before the
subcommittee many things that
must be done in the treatment
and prevention of delinquency
can best be done when States
and the Nation work with COM
munities."
The whole basis for his meas
ure. Mr.. Javits explained. lis to
