Alberta was the first one in the door and therefore the first with the dentist.  She was really nervous.  I told her it wouldn&#8217;t hurt, the doctor would give her medicine (anesthesia) so she wouldn&#8217;t feel pain.  I checked on her a few times.  When she was done, she left quickly!<\/p>\n<p>A few hours later, as I was sitting with some ladies outside, she came back to the clinic to wait for her friends to finish with the dentist.  I asked her how she felt.  She said, &#8220;I feel SOOOO comfortable!  I don&#8217;t feel any pain.  In fact, I didn&#8217;t ask if I could eat anything, and at lunch time, I just ate my food, and I felt SOOOO comfortable!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I asked how her visit was with the doctor and if she was afraid to come back.  She kinda laughed.  &#8220;There&#8217;s no reason to be afraid of this doctor! I didn&#8217;t feel ANYTHING!  I&#8217;ll tell everyone to come, but this is the last time you are having a dental clinic, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what rumors she was hearing, I said cautiously, &#8220;As long as the people here are happy with us living here, we want to help the people and we&#8217;ll bring dentists whenever we can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She quickly answered, &#8220;We like you guys.  You don&#8217;t kill people, and you remove the plaque from our teeth!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to know what people think of us! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/rachel-chapman\/files\/2011\/06\/Alberta-2-for-blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-910 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/rachel-chapman\/files\/2011\/06\/Alberta-2-for-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Alberta 2 for blog\" width=\"512\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/rachel-chapman\/files\/2011\/06\/Alberta-2-for-blog.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/rachel-chapman\/files\/2011\/06\/Alberta-2-for-blog-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/rachel-chapman\/files\/2011\/06\/Alberta-2-for-blog-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the second day of the dental clinic, a truckload of people arrived first thing in the morning.
