Every year a dentist from the capital comes to Santa Catarina Ixtauacan Vieja, a neighboring village, to do a clinic on her own accord and from her own pocket. I went to meet the dentist so I can assist this year and hopefully the coming years as well.
Although there was numbing, these were some tough patients. And for some, the dentist extracted the last of their remaining teeth.
We brought them in three at a time so the numbing could set in while looking at other patients.
This woman had a wisdom tooth pulled.
