BON AND NONG ‘OPEN WIDE’ FOR Dr. KANOKRA
by Mike Franklin
Dr.Thanoporn, Dr. Tapasit and dental staff from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya Dental Center recently visited the Fountain of Life Center to examine the teeth of the 93 kids who were present that day. (Pattaya Mail report July 4th). The next step in the dental care program for these kids is a follow up at the hospital with a full in-surgery examination and treatment.
This began on Wednesday 9th July when young Bon (boy 6yrs) and Nong (girl 13 yrs), wearing their new 2008 Jesters shirts, were taken to the Dental Center by Tooth Fairy, Ingrid Cunliffe, with Nurse Aree. The ride in a nice car from the FOL is always an incentive, together with the promise of a toy balloon after the treatment.
The PMTV crew were on hand to film the procedings in the dental surgery to go on the PMTV cable network as a ‘Meet& Greet’ feature.
This was Bon’s first visit to the dentist and he was naturally apprehensive, but was soon put at ease in the caring hands of Dr. Kanokrat. The ‘mirror technique’ used in the surgery,that enables the child to watch the examination, certainly works and Bon was a model patient. Next in the chair was Nong, a girl 13 years old and equally relaxed as Dr. Kanokrat gently probed the cavities and areas needing treatment. The detailed examinations over, Bon and Nong were given their toy balloons and appointments were booked for the following week for the serious treatment to begin.
This has to be one of the most rewarding aspects of the way the money donated to the Fountain of Life by the annual Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive is used. So young Bon and teenage Nong will have good teeth and a confident smile in due course, as will all the kids at the Fountain of life over time.
Thanks to the funding by the Jesters, the care at the Fountain of Life by Sister Joan and her staff and Tooth Fairy Ingrid and not least , the co-operation and special terms afforded by the BHP Dental Center. And in this 11th year of the Jesters Charity Drive another 50,000 baht Gold sponsorship has been donated by the BHP Dental Director, Dr. Tassanee, to benefit the FOL Dental program.
Many of the smiling Kids from the Fountain of Life Center will be at the Jesters Children’s Fair and Family Day on Sunday September 14th. Make a note in the diary and come and join them – it’s a great day out for everyone.
