DESCRIBES DENTAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY FOR INSTITUTIONALIZED OFFENDERS.
Abstract
THE SERVICES PROVIDED COVER THE SPECTRUM FROM ORAL SURGERY TO COATING THE TEETH WITH FLOURIDES. THE YOUTH AUTHORITY DOES NOT PROVIDE ORTHODONTIA, THE STRAIGHTENING OF BADLY POSITIONED TEETH. MANY OF THE CASES HANDLED COME FROM NEARBY STATES. TREATMENT PRIORITIES ARE GIVEN TO THOSE WARDS SUFFERING FROM GINGIVA, ACUTE INFECTIONS OF THE TEETH. DENTAL TREATMENT IS PART OF THE WHOLE REHABILITATION PROCESS.
