Madam, - Have we lost all sense of reason? Following a well conducted review of orthodontics due to be published shortly, a member of that review group makes the front page of your Health Supplement of November 28th with a call for yet another tribunal of inquiry into orthodontics.
Is this State really willing to pour even more money into what is, for most people, essentially cosmetic dentistry, when children and adults with disabilities wait years to get emergency care for the relief of pain, due to a lack of general anaesthetic facilities? - Yours, etc,
JUNE NUNN, Professor of Special Care Dentistry, Dublin Dental School and Hospital, Lincoln Place, Dublin 2.
