Dental Mavericks helping children in Morocco - Bracknell Dentist Dr Teresa Day's update on the 2013 mission

24.09.12 We had problems getting the equipment thru customs and Cally Gedge now has to spend tomoz trying to get this sorted out - agghghghghghhgh

25.09.12 phew!  Finally customs have allowed our equipment thru. It will be at El Jabah this evening so we'll be able to start treating the children tomorrow :)

26.09.12 Waiting for the local anaesthetic to arrive (as we can't bring that in with us we have to source it locally), this delayed us starting treatments. I saw a 10 year old boy with big black holes in his front teeth, managed to fill them and make them look nice, he went out beaming and was was told it had made his year. Between us we’ve treated 70+ children today, mainly extractions. Very draining physically and emotionally - expecting to do the same again tomorrow.

27.09.12 I saw a 6 year old girl today with 2 abscessed teeth - she smiled all the way thru the treatment when we took them out - she was a joy to treat and parents were very grateful. All in we treated over 90+ children today. Some very emotional moments with the scared ones, and hugs and kisses after treatment. Ran out of supplies so we had to finish earlier than expected.

In the meantime Dr Teresa looks like witchypoo with her broken tooth, no news yet on how this happened - good job we know some very good dentists, she'll be needing one :)
