– Dental –

Many people neglect proper dental care, so there is a large need in this field. This is one of the more complex services we offer. It is easy for a physician to bring a stethoscope. However, it is very difficult to bring in dental equipment and chairs. We try at a minimum to provide dental screenings to all.

We have had Clinics where dentists have been able to perform such services as tooth extraction, decay repair, and partial plate construction just to name a few. Dentists have also opened up their offices for further care for the underprivileged — what an example of helping those in desperate need.

Dental hygienists are a large part of this ministry. Besides assisting in procedures, they can offer fluoride treatments and teach proper oral hygiene. Dental students have been an integral part of the dental ministry.

Touched Twice truly hopes that portable dental equipment will be provided in the future. This is one area in which donations are definitely needed.
