Dr. Calabrese made her 7th trip to Belize City, Belize, Central America with Project Smile. She was joined by Jasmine, EFDA (2nd trip), Riona, EFDA and Katie, RDH (1st trip), along with Dr. Calabrese and Riona's high school daughters (Juliana, 9th grade, 2nd trip and Arion, 11th grade and first experience).
Drs. Roy and Crystal Maynard of Savanna, GA and Dr. Safiyah Salih of San Jose, CA also treated children, while Clayton E Gagne-Thomas oversaw the administrative side of things along with Carolyn and Carol of Belize.
Together we were able to treat 128 children and 10 adults, place over 250 sealants and restore nearly 100 teeth. Only 13 extractions this year let us know our efforts at education and prevention are making a difference.
