LULAC Clinic, February 20, 2016

3/4/2016

​On Saturday, February 20th, we participated again in the LULAC Clinic in Riverside providing dentistry for the under served.  We worked with LULAC (The League of United Latin American Citizens) Riverside Council 3190 and Los Medicos Voladores.  We provided chairs, portable dental unit, compressors, portable x-ray equipment and lots of volunteers.  We had volunteers come on Friday to set up equipment and take them down after the clinic on Saturday.  We had four dentists, three Registered Dental Assts. Expanded Function (RDAEF2), and a dozen or more dental students.  It was a great success.  Many miracles happened and all were blessed.  There were many special stories, but the most meaningful to me was the story of a young lady whose brother is trying to come back from drug addiction.  He was in great pain and was unable to get help in Arizona.  She paid for his train ticket to come to this clinic hoping for help.  His diagnosis was extraction of all his remaining teeth.  We said that we would help and in walked Dr. Eric Chen, who is now an implant resident with excellent oral surgery skills. He extracted all the teeth, sutured the patient up after having contoured the bone to receive new dentures.  His dentures will be made at New Hope Clinic when he returns to permanently live in Southern California.  She was beside herself with joy … so were we!
