Delta Dentistry

Had the great opportunity to meet 2 new dentists out of Kentucky that are also new to Bethel, but I wonder if they realize what they got themselves into. Dental care on the delta is poor to say the least. Most patients would rather have teeth extracted then to try and save them and very rarely consider brushing nonetheless flossing. However, the other day I was observing our pharmacy waiting area and saw a patient flossing his teeth. It rather surprised me at first, but then I realized that wasn't dental floss he was using; nope that was the handle on his plastic shopping bag. I'm sure that had the dentists seen this they might have fallen over on the floor. And while the effort is appreciated, the execution is a failure.
