By the time our visiting dentists left they had seen 111 children and 116 adults. Throughout the day people were waiting as shown in this picture. Haiti doesn't have many dentists, only about 350 for its 10 million people. And most of those are clustered in the cities. In comparison, the US has twenty times that number per capita. A good inidication of this is that even our own staff were in need of dental attention and on the the last half-day, after the last patient was seen, our team worked into the night attending to our staff. .
