Mercy Ships' Dental Clinic up and running.
Since its opening in November they have seen over 1000 patients!
Dentists come from around the world
to help with procedures
such as extractions, fillings, cleanings and
oral hygiene.
The average amount of teeth removed per patient is six to eight
teeth!
Comfort is teaching proper dental hygiene while patients wait for their appointment.
The team also mentors some of the
Day Crew who work at the clinic in various areas so that they can then
continue to work after the final field service. Some areas they are
trained in are universal precautions, sterilization techniques and use
of basic instruments.
The Dental
Clinic is one aspect of the ship
that consistently and passionately
makes a difference every day.
