Here is a peek into our first day in the clinic.....
Wendy Sweely donated many of our supplies. Thank you Wendy!!
We named our supply closet after her!
Lance painting fluoride on Krishnamoorthy's teeth.
Joseph Stalin opens wide!
A CTR ring on this sweet girl (Choose the Right). 
Dr. Scott and his little patient. 
Joseph Stalin and me. Yes, that really is his name! And his brother's name is John Kennedy!
Dr. Steve and Dr. John doing their magic.
Raegan and D. Aron. He'd had a bit of a run-in with a wall at some point and severely chipped his two front teeth. Dr. John rebuilt the teeth and gave him a whole new smile. He was so happy, and so were we!
Dr. John and his pleased patient Shankar.
Buelah was such a good patient. I was so impressed with the bravery of all these children. Most of them had never, ever seen a dentist before. I'm sure it was frightening, and many came in quite a bit apprehensive, but they did so well!
Lance the dental assistant. There's nothing like on-the-job training with dad!
Sweet little Karthik waits patiently for his turn in the dental chair.
Sujatha. She looks like she is in pain, but she was only pulling a face because she really didn't know how to react to such strange things put in her mouth!
There are 3 watch dogs at RSO and they were not too fond of us strangers. They especially seemed to like to bark a lot at Dr. Scott ;) Here Scott watches his back as he walks to the dental clinic.
Brooke giving Gracie a fluoride treatment.
Whew, that wasn't nearly as bad as Priya had feared it might be!
Jordan entertains little Karthik while he waits to have his teeth checked. The boys especially seemed eager to get in the dentist's chair. At times there would be several boys lined up outside this door just waiting for their name to be called!
Raegan and Dr. Steve.
Keep up the good work! I didn't realise you had to get through so many kids. They are such cuties though, I bet you absolutely made their month!! Especially playing with them too.
