PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY.
ALLEGATION OP NEGLECT. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. ' SYDNEY, Nov. 16. At the annual congress of the Australian Society of Dental Science a paper was read dealing with preventive dentistry. It contained an allegation that many dentists, rather than rectify small deficiencies -in a patient’s mouth which might lead to serious results, preferred to allbw the process of decay to proceed, so that the source of future income might remain. At least 90 per cent, of dentists took no preventive measures where there were indications of future decay, knowing that the patient would present himself again within a few months for a new filling to be charged up.—Aus.-N.Z.
