First working day

After we had yesterday off and were able to relax with a massage and by the pool, today we started seeing our first patients at the clinic.

Fillings, root canals or just making a little boy laugh to count his teeth - we should just do it. It is a very good feeling that both the patients and Dr. Samantha Kumara has so much trust in her.

Our working day officially started at 12 p.m. but 12.30 p.m. was tea time, which is practically sacred here. For lunch today there were Kottu in three different versions. All very tasty and to my (Isi) pleasure, finally not spicy! Then back to work until we were able to discharge the last little patient at 8 p.m., but he had a sad fate, which unfortunately there are a lot of here: just 3 or 4 years old and virtually all of his baby teeth have been completely destroyed by caries - and the parents don't want any treatment , just painkillers for the symptoms. After our purchase we also knew why tooth decay is such a huge problem here. In addition to the lack of information about the importance of brushing your teeth, sugar is added to every food, and not exactly a little.

Now off to bed, tomorrow the day in the clinic starts at 8 a.m.!
