§ 67. Dr. Barnett Strossasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that some dentists use plastic teeth for permanent dentures; and whether he will advise against this practice on the ground that the teeth stain and wear away in a short time.
§ Mr. BevanThe terms of service for dentists permit the use of either acrylic or porcelain teeth of first grade quality. I am advised that acrylic teeth of this quality do not stain and last as long as the average life of a denture.
§ Dr. StrossIs my right hon. Friend aware that there are such allegedly permanent dentures provided which wear away in a few weeks, and if I send him an example will he take note of it and issue further directions?
§ Mr. BevanI am answering the Question on the Order Paper, but if my hon. Friend will give me particulars I will certainly have them examined.
