Club Sponsors Dental Clinic in 1953

Club Sponsors Dental Clinic

In an effort to reduce the amount
of tooth decay by the use of flouride
applications, a continuing preventive
dental program has been
organized to serve Grand Traverse
and Leelanau counties. It has been
developed under the sponsorship
of the Kiwanis Club of Traverse
City with the cooperation of the
Grand Traverse-Leelanau Health
department, local dentists, the
schools and the Michigan Department
of Health.

This summer treatments will be
available in Traverse City and also
at' several locations in the two
I counties where there are 75 or
! more children to be treated. The
treatments are offered on a low
fee basis of $4.00 per child, payable
before April 24, 1953.

Treatment includes four visits
within a two week period; a cleansing
and four applications of fluoride.
The fluoride treatment will
reduce the numbers of new cavities
by 40 per cent in a group of
children. Cards will be given out
at the schools and these should
be signed and returned at once.
