As I took photographs of individual children this morning I discovered that every child is in serious need of dental care. Everyone needs his/her teeth cleaned, cavities filled and instruction on proper oral health. There are a number of children with very crowded teeth so I am checking on prices for dental care and braces. Last I knew, braces were about $300 and the monthly adjustments were about $1 each. One girl in particular has severely crooked teeth; most are sideways like dominos waiting to tumble. She refuses to smile and to be honest, I don’t blame her. A dental program must be implemented immediately at the LOT Home. I have asked Jonathan to find a dentist to give us a group discount, someone with a heart for charity work. Medical and dental care is only a fraction of the cost that one pays in the West, so by God’s grace, people will contribute to this very worthy project.
