FOLLOW-UP FOR CORRECTION OF DEFECTS
The principal, classroom teacher, school nurse, and dental hygienist make an important contribution to the dental health of our children. Each classroom works for 100% in dental certificates before the end of the school year in June. This helps to motivate at least yearly visits to the dentist, although we recommend regular, frequent visits.
Classes that obtained the Goal-100% Dental Certif- icates:
Mt. Pleasant School-Grades 1, 2, 3 Cold Spring School-Grade 1 Oak Street School-Grade 1
The increase of dental corrections through the year without an increase in clinic service seems to prove that progress is being made. The dental program should be carried on between home and school and the responsi- bility for the dental health practices of children must remain with the parents.
Respectfully submitted,
JANE B. BRADFORD, Dental Hygienist. DR. W. O. DYER, DR. F. C. ORTOLANI, School Dentists.
