Marie Barriol´s experience. Marie is 18 and volunteers in the health clinic.
Today a girl about three and a half came in for a consultation. As she had never come to the dentist before, I had to write down all of her information. When I asked the mother if she brushed the child's teeth, she was certain "yes, once a day!" she said. But when the girl opened her mouth to for the dentist to check it, it became obvious she was lying! Even I could see it! Why would you lie about something like that? The teeth of this young girl were so damaged the doctor could not help hurting her whilst fixing the mother's fault. She was crying so loud and the mother did nothing. Not a word of encouragememnt, not even the tiniest bit of a hug... I was so annoyed at this woman! Not only did she not care for her girls teeth, but she wasn't there either while her child was suffering the consequences of her neglect!
