Dental Care for the Elderly

This week, there is a dental team at Grace Village providing dental care to the elders, children and staff.  Going to a dentist is a luxury in Haiti, so many of our elders suffer with teeth pain most of their life.  In evaluating who needed dental work prior to the team coming, we saw teeth rotted right down to their gums....I can't even imagine the pain.
 
This is Pirre, who has a beautiful smile, but had some pain.  How wonderful it must feel to have clean teeth and no pain!  The following elders were able to have dental work done:  Marie, Pirre, Felicie, Laurissain, Pierre, Ofane, Antchola and Antoinette.
