A 3RD STS, i a. of Education, revealed today that his division's own part-time dentist will begin such work with second grade pupils in a short time. Specially Selected Group This next particular group of students was selected, the director explained, because at their average age of seven years the first permanent teeth are generally in place.

The fluorine treatment, given, at such an appropriate age and stage of dental progress, can do much to deter the decay which might set in on the permanent teeth. The department has, as yet, only a part-time dentist and a dental hyeienist. but the work will be carried on as rapidly and as generally as facilities and personnel permit. The public health team which began work this morning will move from school to school in Wilmington for the next two months and then cover other sections of the state. Each child receives four treat ments, or applications of the solution with a cotton swab.

Per mission from the individual parents is required on a special school slip before any fluorine is placed on the student's teeth. Such treat ments, according to Dr. Edwin Cameron, head of the state health board, should be given every three years to insure the continued work of the fluorine on impending decay. Applications Are Thorough At the Bancroft School this morning, swift, thorough applications were given by Dr. Kerico and Miss Peters to double lines of youngsters.

One set waited for the half-treatment to dry while the second received their initial swabbing. All parents of the children treated will also be notified of any notice able decay or other dental defects and will be urged to have the trouble cared for by their own dentists. Studies of treatments given in other states show that a 40 per cent reduction in the yearly incidence of decay Is the encouraging result of using fluorine at the proper ages. Portable equipment, used by the public health demonstration teams, can be "taken from school to school and similar facilities will be arranged by the school board's health department when they undertake their own program of continued treatments.
