Teeth of School Children Warn of Dental Neglect
Eight of ten pupils need dental care, says Edwin Collins of the London Dentist. A British Dental Association survey of 10 000 mouths found over 65 percent of 13 year olds required treatment. 1896 data show only 828 of 3800 mouths were free of decay or extraction needs. Collins argues for periodical checks and potential legislation to ensure early treatment, likening dental neglect to serious preventable diseases.
