Modern Dentist Meet Orphans And Hurting Public

The local dentist in town has spent a considerable amount of his time and money serving the children and people of Mexico with dental services

. He regularly visits orphanages cleaning teeth, teaching hygiene, and helping the nuns to attend to the children's oral hygiene. While this is a serious problem for the children, the nuns have more important things to worry about.

While sparkling white healthy teeth are particularly important in our culture, these children's have different needs. The Franklin Dentist's last visit was quite discouraging. One the prior visit he had passed out toothpaste, toothbrushes, and floss to each child at the orphanage. He had the children remove the brushes and paste from the package and practice brushing. He later found out that after he left, the nuns had the children repackage the supplies and sell them on the street.

These nuns aren't heartless monsters bent on depriving children the right to healthy teeth; they simply understand that food is more important. The children sold their precious toothbrushes and paste to buy food. Beans and rice fill empty stomachs, where toothbrushes and toothpaste are lesser important luxuries.

We take for granted blessings and opportunities unheard of in other parts of the world. As a parent, what would you do given the option between dinner and toothpaste? You would most likely do the same as the nuns in orphanages around the world. Let the wealthier people purchase the extravagant while you put food on the table. You live in a country of opulence, even in hard economic circumstances, most people can afford toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste.

Franklin dentist are proficient in preventative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and procedures and practices to fix what ever ails you here but not so in Third World Countries.

The other procedure this dentist performs while in Mexico is extracting abscessed teeth. The people wait patiently in long lines. His hygienists inject Novocain into 15 or 20 people at a time (using a clean needle for each). Chairs are lined up against a wall in town. The people wait for their turn. After the hygienist administer the numbing agent, the dentist pulls one tooth per person.

They have to decide which tooth is the most painful. After the tooth is pulled the chairs are again filled with the waiting public. This dentist pulls about eighty teeth a day. It is hard work to serve the orphanages and public all in a week's time. He comes home exhausted yet satisfied with the work he has rendered.

Next time you visit a Franklin Dentist and are a little nervous for the procedure ahead, think of your Mexican friends and be grateful for modern dentistry!
