600D DENTISTRY HELD IN DEMAND!: Dr. C. Willard Camalier De- | clares Public Has Changed Attitude. The public is again demanding “good dentistry,” as compared with more inferior service given in prior years, according to Dr. C. Willard Camalier, president-elect of the Amer- ican Dental Association and former head of the District Dental Associa® tion. “To be more specific,” Dr. Camalier says, “in the years of the so-called de- pression the people were forced to have minimum services performed, in- cluding the failure to have elimi- nated the causes of focal infection, the insertion of more inferior grades of fillings rather than more perma- nent ones, the construction of bridges and plates in which the higher-grade materials were not used and other services of a highly important na- ture.” Teeth Sacrified. Undoubtedly many teeth were sac- rificed which, with treatment, might have been saved, Dr. Camalier be- lieves, and the lack of dental care extended to the children of the Na- tion, “The results of this neglect,” he declares, “will undoutedly be reflected in the mouths of these young people in adulthood. The straightening of the teeth, known to dentists as ortho- dentia, was also sadly neglected, to the detriment of the health and ap- pearance of the children. “From the above it can be seen that the health of the Nation, from the dental standpoint alone, was men- aced during the depression years, but I must say in all fairness that the dental profession generally did not re- fuse to render its service to the people, to the best of its ability, whenever it was called upon, whether pay was re- ceived for it or mot. Dissension in Ranks. “During the depression years the decline of the practice of dentistry | naturally reflected itself in the busi- | ness done by the dental manufac- turers and dealers. For instance, the sale of false teeth, gold, vulcanite, amalgam, cement and other supplies mecessary to this health service greatly diminished. Likewise, the wages and services performed by dental techni- cians—those persons who assist the dentist in some phases of his labora- | tory work—were at a low ebb, causing considerable dissension in the ranks of this class of workers. “Fortunately, the situation has changed. There was an improvement in 1936 over 1935 and unquestionably a decided improvement over the years Just preceding. In other words, the economic status of the profession has Pprobably kept pace with the general upward trend of the country as a whole, and while the many losses in this field from the human stand- point cannot possibly be regained, America should feel thankful that its leaders have not caused the demorali- zation of its health professions, with | the resultant distress in the quality of | service rendered to the citizens, as is | the case in many foreign countries." . — Marnage Llcenses.
