“The training school for the school dental service in Wellington is very efficiently run, and the New Zealand method of handling dental problems in school children is the most complete and effective one I have yet met with,” said Dr Eugene Schmitt, a New York dentist, who is visiting Christchurch, in an interview. Dr Schmitt emphasised the need, which has lately been discussed by the New Zealand Dental Association, for pre-natal care, and attention to young children, to ensure good teeth.
