REPOiT 0E DiX{T..i, Hq-ALTtl S UttVEY
lleridian, Idaho--February 29, 1952
This s tudy was conducted following a request fron a l-ocal rientist for
information regarding the present Level of dental disease in Meridian. In
order to obtain this infornation, 332 school chj.ldren, ages 6 thr ough 13,
were exanined by tv,ro exanjners (rr.Y. and (.8.) The inforroation 'was obtained
by usiag a rapid count D"iF Survey. This type of survey records the nunber
of decayed, nlssing, and filled teeth. the examinations are done rapidly with
the aid of a mouth m.irror and a pen flashlight. rol-unteers from the Parent-
Teachers Association assisteci t,he exaniners.
I'luor icie Content of Community tti'at,er Supply. The ilieridian uater supply
is obtajned from cirilled r,rells. Tne principal source is an Brt rvelL tlrat
discharget directly into the systen. A secondary source is used uhen the
najn lvell cannot maintajrt nressure. A new well hes recently beem put into
operation. A record ol the results of the chem.lcaI analyses for fLuorj-oe
content of the iti,:,ridian water supply is given Lr Table I. It will be seen that
the fluori.de content varies between 0.2 and 0.35 ppn, dxperience in other
areas has shovm that t,his smalI amount ol fluoride gives relatively little
protection against dental decay.
Ana is of Eindin , In addlti.on to counting the number of decayed,s
nissing, and filLed perrnanent teeth for each chiId, a <ietennination was made
of the percentage of children in each age group with one or mor€ DdF permanent
teeth. Ihis vas done in order to compare the resuLts of the examinatlon with
the results of an exanination ma<ie of Nampa school children in Ig47. This
comparison is given irr !).gure I. As might be expccted., an unusual-Iy high
percentage of Meridian chil<iren have had one dr more d.ecayed,, mj.ssing, or
fil-led teeth. At the a.1e of 6 years, 95 per cent of the

chlldrEn had already been attacked by dental decay. The percontage of
chlldren that have been attecked by decay fluctuates sonewhat through the
succeeding years reaching 100 per cent at age L3: In l,lampa the water
contai-ns 1.5 ppm of fluoride and the dental decay rate is much 1ower.
I€ss than 1O per cent of the ll anpa glx-year-olds had any decayed, rnissi.rlg,
or fi11ed teeth; and even at the age of. 14, on\y 62 per cent were so
af,flicted. ?he children jn Melidlan are experiencing nore than tlv"ice as
nuch den tal decay as children in liampa.
the average DIiIF rate per chlld for the permanent teeth has been broken
donn into its conponent parts in Figule II. This makes it possible to
compare the anount of dental care Ulat has been feceived and the ax0ount
of dental care that is needed. The teeth that have been filled and those
that have bee,n extracted (missing) represent the ciental eare that has
been recelved in each age group. The teeth that are listed as decayed
represent ttre unraet needs for deutal care. Only 33 per cent of the total
needs of the six-year-olds have been taken care of. Fifty-four per cent
of the total ciental needs of the ten-year-oIds have been taken care of,
but only 4! per cent of ttre totaL dental needs of the thirteen-year-olds
have been met.
General Conments.the dentaL inspections slrow that ;.ieridian has a
high dental decay rate. Although some dental care is being received,
atnost 50 per cent of the pernanent teeth that have decayed remain
untreated. The Iiieridian water supply is deficient i.n fluoride. It is
to be expected that children living j.n l{eridian wiLl experience around
60 fo 65 per cent raore dental decay than wouLd be the case if ihe water
supply contafued the optlmum supply of fluoride. A proeran of controlled
5
lluoridation ]youlci bring great benefits to the cnildren of llleridian by
reducing the number of teeth that decay and by reoucirrt the number oI
teeth that need to be extracted. The reduced need for dental care wouici
also brinB f inancial savings to percnts.
