Loma Linda School of Dentistry

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate to have the Loma Linda School of Dentistry helping out the People of Peru Project. They were able to do some much needed work up and down the Amazon River, here in Iquitos, and also out here at POPPYS House. We were blessed to have them for two whole days. Not only were our girls able to receive superb treatment, anyone that came to our gate was also able to receive some much needed work. The group was able to work on all ranges; from little kids with rotten teach to grandmas and grandpas that have never and probably never will brush their teeth. We are very grateful for the work that they performed. They worked late in each night, never complained, and always wanted to help out more. It was great having them here and Santo Tomas (our town) looks better because of it. 8)

Here are some kids waiting for their turn in line, as well as the free toothbrush, toothpaste, and stuffed animal they each received when done.

Here are some docs from LLU yanking out some teeth...
