Last week's dental team saw a total of 50 patients in a day and a half. Patients told us that they were so happy with the work done and that the dentists were just wonderful. One patient who had two extractions, two fillings and a cleaning told us that he was standing in front of his mirror practicing his smile! A woman who had a filling in a front tooth said that she was so glad that she could smile again without feeling self conscious about her teeth. A young man who had been in pain from an impacted wisdom tooth had a difficult extraction, but was so glad to have that tooth gone. His mom called to thank us for hosting the dental clinic.

For those who needed a boost of their self esteem, the dentists were ready to do their special magic of dentistry and showing God's love for each person. This was no cold, impersonal dental clinic --- hugs and smiles were shared by all as each dentist explained what they were doing and what to expect. The gentleness was truly a blessing for those who do not often get treated with the care and compassion that they found here. God bless the patients and the dentists!
