Dentistry Blog from Dr. Bruce...
This year we were so fortunate to have Dr. Thaw Ain Soe ("Eddie" for short) with us to teach dental care. He is from Myanmar and I knew I
really liked him when he started each class with prayer.
He taught basic dental care and oral hygiene,
followed by Periodontal disease, and how to handle acute infections of the gums
and teeth. The students learned about descaling
the teeth (removal of plaque buildup) with a special de-scaling machine.
We were able to project images on the big
screen TV as he worked on the patients.
They also learned how to fill a
superficial cavity that had not yet eroded through the enamel by hands-on
practice using plastic teeth. The
students loved learning dental skills and information.
Thank you for being such a blessing to our students, Eddie.
