Medical Teams International helps students with dental needs


By Corinne Van Lier and Lupita Gonzalez


We heard that there was a dentist van in front of Waldo over the intercom, so my friend and I wanted to know more. We thought of some questions to ask the dentists. This is what we got back for answers:


Question: Why do you do this?
Answer: I took this job because of my faith in God.
Question: About how many kids have you helped?
Answer: About 11 people a day.
Question: What is the worst mouth you have ever treated?
Answer: Most teeth were broken off at the gum line. It was horrible.
Question: If you have bad teeth, does that affect other health issues in your body?
Answer: It does. An infection in the mouth can cause heart problems.
Question: Where else in the world have you guys helped with teeth?
Answer: Africa, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Sudan, Cambodia, Indonesia, SriLanka,Vietnam,Eurasia,Moldova, Romania, Uzbekistan, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Haiti, and many other countries.
