Dominican Republic

Last month I was blessed to be a part of a group of people who went to the Dominican Republic to offer free dental work. Talk about an amazing experience! One of the best parts of this trip was me being able to share this experience with my brother Jordan (a dental student at Creighton).

I could write a long paragraph about all the crazy stuff I saw or how HOT it was, but pictures will say it better. Enjoy!









This is a picture of us at our first location: a school


Lots of people waiting in hopes of getting dental work done

this is the sterilization area. ha








Our hotel was close to the Santo Domingo temple, so we walked over one night to take a look at it.






My first tooth extraction!






you can't really tell, but this guy had some MAJOR calculus build up. 

After a majority had been removed....









 There you have it! Honestly, going to the DR was a great experience, I learned so much and I am grateful I was able to go with such an awesome group of people.
