Mukeu Dental Clinic


This is the dental clinic where Greta and I were going to help build and do dental hygiene teaching (Mukeu, Kenya) in 2005. Greta was very excited about getting equipment and supplies and was disappointed when her illness came back prohibiting her from going to Kenya.
Dr. Ben, dentist, works the clinic in the village. He has limited resources and could use the following items (anyone who can help, please let me (Jack) know and I will be happy to make arrangements)

1. Autoclave (sterilizer): they have an old one that breaks down

2. headpieces: high speed and prophylaxis

3. headpiece lubricant

4. extraction instruments; straight broad elevator, root tip elevators, seldon elevators

5. Preventatives; prophy paste caps and jar (pref. coarse).

6. He also mentioned he could use a light similar to the picture below.
