Dental hygienist assistant

Sherri spent some time showing me the equipment and the charting procedures for the dental cleaning portion of our work at the Rafiki village.  We hope to clean all the children's teeth, as well as the adult national's teeth.  My job will be to keep trays filled, equipment clean and the most fun part is that I get to be the entertainment for the children that are waiting for their turn!

The biggest take-away is to ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES when using the sterilizer and handling the equipment.  Strong sterilizer will take layers off skin not covered by gloves!

Thank you God for Sherri and that she is going with me to Africa!  And thank you that Jeff and Burt are so supportive of our trip!
