The 27 Doctors and their local counterparts were able to extend various services to at least 1,221 patients.
In case you’d be interested, here are some figures that I got from some PDA members:
On May 23 (Friday), they were able to do 470 dental extractions, 110 oral prophylaxis, 55 restoration, and 150 pediatrics who were also given free toothpaste and toothbrush
Last Saturday, May 24, 2008, the group was able to do 250 dental extractions, 40 oral prophylaxis, 20 restoration, and 126 pediatrics.
Some members of the PDA will be coming back as part of the American delegation that will be conducting the MEDCAP of the USNS Mercy Mission in Samar.
That's part of the crowd that turned up for the PDA Dental Caravan
Dentists from the local PDA Chapter took charge of the screening of patients at the City Hall Stage.
Two "service areas" were provided. The children were treated at the Coop Conference Hall . . .
. . . while the adults were treated at the Main Conference Hall
Earlier, there was a "surge" of patients trying to avail of the free services. The City Officials were on hand to maintain order and to give instructions . . .
. . . among them Mayor Mel Sarmiento . . .
. . . Vice Mayor Ronald Aquino . . .
. . . and Councilor Ina Rabuya. . . the other City officias were seen assisting patients, others were on hand to assist the dentists calm their nervous patients at the "service areas".
