CT Mission of Mercy Dental Clinic

On Friday, Justin drove down to Bridgeport, CT with several other endodontic residents to participate in the Connecticut Mission of Mercy, an annual free dental clinic. After just one day, it was estimated that there was over $700,000 worth of dental work performed.  Root canal treatment was supposed to be limited to just anterior teeth and premolars, but he ended up having to do two molars as well.  It was a difficult, but great experience working in that environment--on the floor of a stadium with all unfamiliar instruments, materials, etc.  Every patient had a great attitude and was very grateful.

Justin hard at work.
