It followedup a visit Berkshire County ftntists took to Newburgh in September to see what fluoridation has done for youngsters in that town. the score as it stands now: Pittsfield kindergarteners have 19.7 per cent decayed or filled (DIP) teeth compared to Newburgh's kindergarteners who have 10.9 per cent DF Or looking at children in Grade 3, local kids have 68.1 per cent DF teeth compared to NeWburgh's third graders who have 28.3 per cent; DF teeth. Another view of the difference is they number of perfect mouths among kindergarteners.

Pittsfield's future citizens can claim an average of 2 out of 10 perfect mouths. Newburgh kindergarteners boast 5 perfect mouths out of every 10 examined. What effect would fluoridation have here?

When the experiment was started in 1945, 27.2 per cent of the kindergarteners' teeth were decayed or Now that number has dropped to 10.9. Children in Grade 3, in 1945, had 45.4 per cent decayed or filled teeth. Now the DF rate has dropped to 28.3.

To make the surveys as similar as possible, the Newburgh kindergarten examination included 7004 teeth. In Pittsfield, 7226 teeth were checked in kindergarten and 1312 in Grade 3. Results in Pittsfield were surprisingly close to survey figures in other towns that were considering fluoridation, dental authorities said. Twenty-two county dentists conducted the local survey in teams of two. The findings of each individttal in the team averaged out almost identically with the other member of the team.

In the worst 'school in Pittsfield, from the dental survey viewpoint, only 3.3 per cent of the children had perfect mouths. The best school had 40 per cent perfect mouths with the city averaging 21.3 per cent perfect mouths compared to Newburgh's 49.9 per cent. The dentists checked 366 in kindrgarten and Grade 3. Those two groups were selected in Newburgh because the' first group had benefit of fluoridation ever since they were born whereas the Grace 3 students showed the benefit in the six-year molars which erupted after fluoridation was started'.
