Travelling Dental Clinic Planned for Chetwynd Next March
Dr Hann regional health officer based in Prince George announced a Travelling Dental Clinic will visit Chetwynd in March next year. About 30 residents heard Dr Hann and Dr McGinnis discuss fluoridation and local dental services. The village previously hosted subsidized family dentists from 1968 to 1971, but the program ended as a full time dentist was not attracted. 900 school children require 18 months of full time care to reach a normal standard, with many adults and preschoolers needing treatment, and the clinic will remain until demand drops.
