UNREGISTERED DENTISTS
CHANCE TO QUALIFY.
" There are in New Zealand at present a number of practical but unregistered dentists, who would be very hard hjt; by the Dentists Amendment Bill as it now stands —they apparently would not be allowed to do operative dentistry even under supervision. The Minister of Health (the Hon. C. J. Parr), however, briefly confirmed in the House last ni^ht the statement that he proposed to amend the Bill to enable these unqualified men to haye the opportunity to pass a special examination. It is learned to-day that the Minister's suggestion is that those who can support, by an affidavit from an employer or from themselves, the fact. that for two years pa-st they have been practising operative dentistry,' should be, given the chance in December, 1922, to pass a general knowledge examination,; probably equivalent to the Junior Civil Service examination, ,and in December,. 1923, a practical dental examination set by the Dental School authorities.
