DENTISTS WITHOUT BORDERS SAVE LIVES OVERSEAS - BUT -


DENTISTS WITHOUT BORDERS RISK EVERYTHING TO HELP POOR PEOPLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES WHO NEED DENTAL CARE. IT WOULD TAKE HUNDREDS OF DOCTORS TO FILL THE NEED. OUR MOUTHS ARE PART OF OUR BODIES. BAD TEETH BRING PAIN AND EVEN SERIOUS ILLNESS THROUGH MALNUTRITION AND INFECTION. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT A PRETTY SMILE. IT CAN BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. UNFORTUNATELY, IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES WHERE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING A GOOD LIFE, MANY OF US CANNOT AFFORD THE HUGE COST OF DENTAL CARE WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE. IT CAN COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EVEN FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF OUR TEETH. ESSENTIAL CROWNS TO KEEP A COUPLE OF TEETH FROM BREAKING CAN RUN INTO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
