Our dental team has treated 121 patients as of yesterday, and somehow they are able to see more each day. Yesterday they saw 30 children, nine of whom were under six years old. As seen here, there is often an audience of very interested children at the window who seem riveted by watching our dental team at work. Dr. Betsy encourages this. She hopes the onlookers today will become the future dentists of Haiti. We also want to note that the newest member of the Unit is Mr. Johnson (left). He is an interpreter who lives in Petite Riviere when he is not in school. He has become our dental health advocate who explains to the children the technique and importance of taking care of their teeth.
