if A Message to Parents and Children: The slogan for every parent should be “P.C.” which means Please Co-operate to Prevent Caries in children’s teeth. This is of course another way of saying “prevent decay”. ' ' The School Dental Service provides regular dental attention for children, instructs them in home care of the teeth, and gives advice on tooth building and tooth cleansing diets. Complete co-operation is therefore necessary between parent, child and school dental nurse. To gain the maximum benefit parents are urged to help by ensuring that advice given at the school dental clinic is followed up at home. P.C. also stands for Pre-school Child. Children from the age of two and a half years should receive regular dental inspections either from a dental surgeon or, should roll numbers permit, at a school dental clinic.
