Toys for teeth

This week our unrelenting children's dental team has returned to Visitation Clinic to lure unsuspecting children into their clutches with the promise of toys.  Even though their parents are sitting right next to them, the kids are wary of these pale strangers called dentists who smile a bit too much.  However, a toy truck with real wheels is a powerful inducement and the kids are lined up on our back porch most of the day.  Most aren't sure what it means to see someone called a dentist, and are rather unhappy to discover it means being turned almost upside down in a big chair and having someone mess around with your teeth.  But, these are tough Haitians and they quickly regain their composure and none have left their new toy behind yet.
