Dental Week in Action
This lady is receiving an extraction free of charge as a part of the project. The dentists did 780 extractions the first day of this 4 day event. 
This is the crowd gathered at the hospital - dental
facility, awaiting their turn with the dentists. Tooth decay is a major health problem for the Malagasy people. They usually live with the decay until extraction is the only remaining option. Extractions are much cheaper than fillings and most people have multiple teeth missing.
