N.Z. Dental Corps'

Once more the N.Z.D.C. has shown enterprise and ventured out into the wilderness and it looks as if they will be stuck here for a while. The aim of the N.Z.D.C. is to see that every soldier is dentally fit and kept dentally fit and to this aim have been supplied with well-equipped huts which are situated next to the Y.M.C. The Dental Officer is a man of very good extraction and does not get ion your nerve and makes a very I good impression. There is a tre- ! mendous amount of dental work to be done and to this end yon j would facilitate matters by carrying out the following instructions when presenting for treatment. 1. All urgent cases to present for treatment between 0830 hours and 0930 hours. j 2. All repairs to dentures t< present between 0830 hours am 0900 hours. 3. When you have been callee see that you are there on time. .. 4. Bring your pay-books witl you. 5. All ranks must clean thei: teeth before treatment. By observing these instruction you will be helping in the smootl running of the N.Z.D.C., thus im proving the health of the Reg ment in a minimum of time.
