DENTAL WORK AT CAMPS.

[By Telegraph—Sveciat. to Star.]

WELLINGTON, Sept. 5. A perfect set of teeth is evidently not necessary to pass the military doctors, as a good deal of dental work is done at Trentham. Some details have been given your correspondent by the Minister of Defence, showing that the dentists in camp have been very busy. They dealt with 785 men of the Fourth Reinforcements, their work including 167 fillings, 351 extractions, 52 new dentures and sundry other items, making a total of 1899". The work done in camp for the Fifth Reinforcements involved the handling of 1160 patients, extractions numbering 643 and fillings 408.
