“FINE JOB OF WORK”

STATE DENTAL CLINIC SERVICE ROTARY CLUB ADDRESS “As a private practitioner, I consider that the dental clinics are doing a very fine job of work and the district which possesses a clinic is particularly fortunate,” observed Mr J. F. Fuller, of Masterton, and until recently on the staff of the State Dental Clinic Service, in the course of an interesting and informative address at today’s luncheon of the Masterton Rotary Club. Mr Fuller was formerly a lecturer at the Otago School of Dentistry. Mr Fuller interestingly traced the steps leading up to the establishment of the State Dental Service in 1921. The service, he said, was based on the lines of the New Zealand Army service during the War. New Zealand was the only country in the world where the State Dental Service was carried out by women, remarked Mr Fuller, who went on to describe the method used in selecting the trainees and to deal with the type of work they carried out. Each nurse was expected to have 500 patients, while the maximum charge that could be made by a dental clinic committee was 5s a year. In some districts the treatment was given free. At the conclusion of his address Mr Fuller was accorded a hearty vote of thanks on the motion of Rotarian J. H. Cunniqgham. Rotarian H. H. Daniell said it was not generally known that the Masterton Dental Clinic Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr A. Donald, was one of the pioneers as far as extending the benefits of the service to the country districts was concerned.
