Dental Outreach - Mission Trips - Grandon Village Dental Office
Mission Trip to Micronesia 2014 Dr.Bailey recently provided dental care to people in need in Pohnpei, Micronesia.
Dr.Bailey said "The main reason we came here is to do what we can to help the dental and medical needs of the islanders. Life is very different here. Life expectancy is 63-67 with men dying younger. Dental needs are overwhelming. Most everyone, In fact I think everyone, have missing teeth and cavities." .jpg "Mission Trip to Micronesia 2014")

Betelnut "Betelnut is a mild but addictive narcotic that stains the teeth with a solid black coating. The locals cut it open and sprinkle it with tobacco for extra flavor, then chew it. It is very difficult to remove and we did what we could but as long as they are chewing it, there is little value in removing it. It also, but we do not say this, arrests decay. I do not think we should recommend this as a cure for tooth decay. It is always a pleasure to see people without this stain."

| Grandon Village At the Senior Street Fair in San Marcos! |
| Dr. Bailey and Dr. Phan recently attended the San Marcos Senior Street fair. The event was put on by Brookdale place, and was a neat opportunity to meet with senior residents from the local community. Along with helpful information about their dental health, our dentists were also handing out toothpaste and tooth brushes. Dr. Phan enjoyed both talking about cosmetic dentistry as well as regular dental maintenance. Our staff is looking forward to next year's fair. |
