REPORT OF THE ORAL HYGIENE DEPARTMENT AND DENTAL CLINIC
I hereby submit my report of the dental work done in Plymouth public schools during the year 1932.
The school dental health program has had a steady growth since its organization in 1919. The following will show in spite of the economic situation that the gen- eral condition of children's mouths is much improved. This year at the time of the dental examinations there were more pupils found with 100% mouths than last year. In 1931 there were 263 100% mouths, and this year 345. These figures may help to show some value of the pre-school examination which is held every year. This gives the parent an opportunity to have dental de- fects corrected before the child enters school in the fall. In 1931 there were 33 100% mouths found in the first grades upon examination, and this year there were 43.
In 1922 there were 127 permanent teeth extracted, and 355 temporary teeth, whereas in 1932 only 15 per- manent teeth and 142 temporary teeth extracted.
In the fall of 1930, 1813 pupils were examined and 1582 needed dental attention. By National Child Health Day, which was held in June, 1931, 621 children had received a dental certificate. In the fall of 1931, 1796 pupils were examined and 1515 were in need of dental attention. In June, 1932, 627 had received a dental cer- tificate.
-64-
The entire Wellingsley School (28 pupils) were 100% in teeth in June, 1932. This is the first time that this excellent record has ever been obtained in the history of the schools.
In examining, the dentists find that there are a fewer number of children found with large cavities in their permanent teeth.
It is rare to find a child absent from school due to a toothache. If a tooth is aching or the poisons from de- cayed teeth is seeping through the system, good school work cannot be done, and many children have to repeat the grade. Every grade repeated is a financial loss and expense to the town.
More children are using tooth brushes than would be if there were no dental program in the schools. A child with a clean mouth feels more comfortable and is more pleasing to the people with whom he comes in contact. This is another asset in his favor. We feel that this im- proved condition has been brought about by the know- ledge which children and parents have gained through the program outlined by the dental department.
Dental Clinic
It is the policy of the dental clinic to render prophy- lactic treatments to the children in the first six grades who care to have it done, with instruction in dental health. This work is done by the dental hygienist for ten cents. The school dentists examine all children from the first grade through Junior High School. Every de- fect is recorded and every parent notified. Where par- ents are unable to have this work done by their family dentist, the pupils in the first two grades are treated at the clinic for the fee of ten cents. This year there were 97 finished cases at the clinic. Most of these pupils have to return several times before their work is completed. There were 224 of those most important teeth, the six- year molars saved. However, the dental clinic cares for a great number of children who otherwise could not have their teeth cleaned, filled or extracted.
-65-
There have been a few cases of Vincent's Angina (trench mouth) in our schools. This was discovered when the school dentists made their annual examina- tions this fall. Follow-up work has been done in con- nection with these cases, and every precaution has been taken. If it were not possible to have the services of the school dentists these conditions might never have been found, and as this is a contagious disease, the results might have been serious enough to have caused an epidemic.
Such diseases as diphtheria, small pox, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and others gain their entrance into the body through the mouth. If the mouth is neglected by having old roots, abscesses and large cavities a person is more likely to contract such diseases, as the health of the teeth is closely related to the health of the whole body.
Dental clinics and dental educational workers are needed more than ever before, as families are unable to get enough protective foods to prevent tooth decay.
At the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection held in Washington, Secretary Wilbur said, "Every child should have regular dental examination and care."
We are most grateful to the Board of Health for mak- ing it possible to have the services of the dentists two mornings a week, as this is a most valuable asset.
Oral Hygiene Department
The dental hygienists's chief work is education, and I am endeavoring in every way to teach the children the value of a well-kept mouth and its relation to general health, and through the child, create an interest on the part of the parent. That is, reach the parent and en- courage him to care for his child's dental needs. I stress the practice of an approved method of brushing the teeth, early visits to the dentist, food values in regard to dentition and general health habits and their effect on teeth. Many devices are used, the use of posters, mo-
-66-
tion pictures, health plays, parades, health books, month- ly individual mouth inspections and 100% dental certifi- cates have all helped to bring about excellent results.
The child, with some knowledge of caring for his teeth, namely good nutrition, regular dental attention and keeping them clean, has a better chance to prepare himself for earning a living, and become one of the out- standing citizens in his community.
I feel that a great number of citizens in the town have gained a fuller understanding of Dental Hygiene and its value in preventive dentistry.
A fundamental essential which we are very fortunate to have to make our dental health program efficient, is the co-operation of the local dentists, principals and teachers.
When one considers the value that the children derive from the dental department the expense of which amounts to $.031/2 per week per pupil, is comparatively small.

contact with conditions in the home, as is stated in re- port, and thereby being able through the various agencies, (mostly the Red Cross) to give immediate at- tention to the needy, giving them those things which were most necessary in this extraordinary time. It is, therefore, a great pleasure to give much credit to these agencies, for through their untiring effort the children were able to continue their attendance at school with very little time lost.
