The DAN team working hard in the clinics. A job well done when all the kids are happy at the end of the day. The clinics were run from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and children were bused in each morning from refugee camps to attend the clinic. At the start of the day, when all the children were sitting in the waiting room, we had a prime opportunity to provide oral health instruction to everyone. The help of our local interns was invaluable, because they were fantastic in demonstrating how to brush and going over good oral health techniques with all the children. We also went over diet and nutritional advice with both the teachers and the children; this gave them the knowledge they needed to keep it up after we went home. The clinics were relatively well-equipped, providing the ability to perform basic procedures such as extractions and routine fillings. While we did request further instruments and materials, because of time constraints we were unable to get all the things we would have liked. The demand for treatment was incredibly high, and as a consequence we were forced to prioritise those who were suffering in pain or had swelling to be treated first. It was amazing to see how everyone in the clinic worked together. The dental assistants were volunteers themselves and some had never worked in a dental setting, but were very quick to pick up exactly how we worked. It truly was a team effort, because we were expected to see around 30 children in each clinic a day. Enjoying a BBQ after another busy day at the clinic. Going over tooth brushing instructions with the children. Essential for their ongoing maintenance.
