Yesterday afternoon at 2:30, Fran was surrounded by 3 ex-military dentists who worked together to extract her two lower wisdom teeth -- FOR FREE! One of them has been her friend since last May, about 5 months before I met her. Both of us met Fran by chance.
How Fran met the Dentist: Fran was wandering around looking for a dentist's sign on the street because she had a pain in one of her teeth. She happened upon the establishment of dentist Luis on Calle Doblado and presented herself in his second-floor office. After talking to her for awhile, he was as impressed by her as I was, and decided to provide her dental care for very little money. Once they became friends, he also gave her samples of toothbrushes, mouthwash and toothpaste from his office. Later, when she needed this dental surgery he approached a friend of his who is a dental surgeon, another ex-military dentist, and they decided to perform the extractions free of cost.
She was in a lot of pain yesterday after the surgery (both wisdom teeth were lodged firmly in her jaw) but today she says she is pain free. Another day of rest and she should be up and about.
Here are photos I took this morning. She prepared the homemade icepacks a few days ago to have them ready!
