The highlight for every patient...

is to finally get their dentures. Since almost all of the patients have terrible teeth, dentures are made for them in order for them to have a full set of teeth, to feel more confident about themselves, and to possibly apply to a job. Today specifically, this one woman was simply ecstatic to receive her dentures, explaining to us that she can now eat normally and finally look good in order to apply for a job that she was unable to do without any teeth. After completing over 150 volunteer hours at the HHH dental clinic, I feel that I have done much more than just help extract teeth or make composite fillings. This experience has really helped me feel much stronger in my Christian faith. Talking with all of the homeless patients has taught me many valuable lessons that I will cherish long after my volunteer work.
