Dental Mavericks helping children in Morocco - update on this years mission

• 24.09.12 problems getting the equipment thru customs and Cally Gedge now has to spend tomoz trying to get this sorted out - agghghghghghhgh
• 25.09.12 phew! - finally customs have allowed our equipment thru. It will be at El Jabah this evening so we'll be able to start treating the children tomorrow :)
• 26.09.12 Had to wait for the local anaesthetic to arrive (we can't bring that in with us we have to source it locally), so this delayed us starting treatments. Saw a 10 year old boy with big black holes in his front teeth, managed to fill them and make them look nice, he went out beaming and Dr Teresa was told it had made his year.   Between us we’ve treated 70+ children today, mainly extractions. Very draining physically and emotionally - expecting to do the same again tomorrow.
• 27.09.12 Saw a 6 year old girl today with 2 abscessed teeth - she smiled all the way thru the treatment when we took them out - she was a joy to treat and parents were very grateful.  All in we treated over 90+ children today.  some very emotional moments with the scared ones, and hugs and kisses after treatment.  Ran out of supplies so we had to finish earlier than expected.
• 28.09.12 Will be a day to rest and we travel home on 29.09.12.  I'm already looking forward to coming back next year!
• In the meantime Dr Teresa looks like witchypoo with her broken tooth, no news yet on how this happened - good job we know some very good dentists, she'll be needing one :)

We'll fix it tonight ! says Dr Teresa of Appledore Dental Clinic Milton Keynes

Yesterday a very distraught lady called us and said that her denture that we had made her last year had broken. 

• We asked her to come straight down to the clinic and we'd see what needed to be done. 
• The denture was cracked almost right through and it was 5pm! 
• She told us she had important engagements in London tomorrow and that she had a house full of guests over the weekend. 
• We called our friendly dental technician, Damon Saunders, and asked what we could do. 
• He said get it over here tout suite and we'll fix it tonight and she can have it back tomorrow morning. 
• Chrissy, one of our smile advisors took our patient and the denture in my car to the lab and dropped our patient off at home. 
• We couldn't let her get the bus with no teeth in could we? 
• In the morning, Chrissy then picked up our patient and picked up her denture from the lab so that I could refit it at 8.30am in time for her to get her train for London.

 She asked what the cost was, we replied, "just a hug, it's under guarantee"

How satisfied are you with your smile?

Melina's journey at Appledore Dental Clinic Milton Keynes

On a questionnaire they provided to me I answered 'zero' on a scale of 0-10 for 'how satisfied are you with your smile'? 

I really was at rock bottom. Not only was my wedding just two years away but I had just been promoted at work to a role which involved contact with a number of important clients. With no confidence to even smile, how on earth would I cope?   

Dr. Day made me feel so comfortable and any self-consciousness I had about my smile seemed to evaporate as soon as I sat in the chair. She really empathised with me and provided this amazing sense of assurance that something could be done. 

Dr. Day's expertise really shone through and I even started to feel excited about the results. But how would they be achieved I still wondered? 

Dr. Day didn't propose a treatment plan to me there and then. She did the necessary investigations to carefully consider my case further. Just a couple of weeks later Dr. Day outlined for me in the smallest of detail the entire plan that would transform my smile. I knew more than anyone that I wouldn't just turn into Julia Roberts overnight but I could see that the treatment proposed would produce a pretty dramatic result.
