Needed Dental Supplies*
(Medical supply needs)

( We need toothbrushes, oral surgery instruments and 4-hole handpieces mostly)

 

Dental Instruments Needed for 
Bush Dentistry: 2004

  Dr. Bill Williams  will be doing extensive oral surgery and restorative dentistry in primitive locations on this two week trip.  We need enough instrumentation to keep the pace steady to serve those in need. We expect several hundred extractions to be done daily. The need is for enough surgical instruments on hand to keep them being properly sterilized as they are needed for the work at hands. In 2001 we did 600 extractions on 250 people in 4 days while in 2002 we removed 750 teeth on 515 people in 5 days of clinics. Our 2004 (June) mission trip: 499 extractions for 398 patients, 10 fillings in 5 days of clinic. Less patients were seen because they were healthier with fewer diseased teeth.

We purchased a portable dental unit with the funds donated by the Drzik family. We need a number of 4-hole high and low speed handpieces, carbide burs of all descriptions, supplies and instrumentation for restorative dentistry. Dental anesthetic is much needed as well as gauze sponges, gloves and bibs.
