To Speak Here 1 On Dental Health

be guest speaker at the public meeting to be held by the Den- tal Division of Public Health and Welfare in Charlottetown next week. Dr. Macl..aren has been It."- sisting Dr. H. K. Brown. Chief of the Dental Health Division, Ott- awa. ln sodium fluoride experi- ments at Brantford, Ontario, and was recommended by Dr. Brown who was formerly scheduled to speak. The results of these experiments are being awaited with great in- terest. It is too early yet to give ti. conclusive report but Dr. Mc- Laren will be able to give some very useful information. If the final results are-favorable. and the use of sodium fluoride ad- vocated in Charlottetown. it would be the first major step to- wards the overcoming of the scourge of tooth decay.

Fluoridation of the water sup- ply is aimed primarily at the children. since the sodium fluor- ide is incorporated into the tooth structure during the period of the tooth formation. The method offers many. advantages because it is practically putomatic. All children who use the water sup- ply for drinking derive some pro- tection.. There is no special in- itiative required, no special visits to the dentist. no special pro- cedures to be followed, and the cost is very low.
