A team of 11 (mostly) Albertans from the Canadian group "Dentistry For All" arrived last weekend to begin a full 5-day Dental Journey here at Project Ix-canaan.
The potential patients began lining up at 4 a.m. on the first day, and by the final day, we were awakened at 1 a.m. by the sounds of people waiting in line outside the clinic with their towels or blankets over their shoulders to be sure they would be one of the 50 - 60 people that the dentists would be able to work with that day ...
The team set up four stations for cleanings and fillings ...
as well as one station for extractions ...
and another for sterilization of equipment and giving away of toys and gifts to the patients.
And here are a couple of satisfied patients exiting with their frozen mouths and arms full of toys and ... best of all ... Crocs!!
