Guatemala Dental Trips

During the past several years I have been able to lead a team of dental volunteers with Hirsche Smiles Foundation to Guatemala to serve the dental needs of people in remote villages. As always, we see much need for dental care among both children and adults. Procedures performed included extraction of teeth with extensive decay, extraction of abscessed teeth, and fillings. The majority of the procedures being extractions.

The best part about these trips is seeing the appreciation in the eyes of patients who come in with oral facial pain and sometimes much anxiety. They are very timid and scared at first, but once the procedure is completed they many times give us a big hug and tell us "Thank-you".

Our next Guatemala trip is scheduled for March 2023.

Testimonials

I am 75 years old and as a result have seen many dentist's in my life so I have a pretty good idea of what a good dentist and his staff should be like and I am very happy to say that Dr. Tolman and his entire staff have set the bar for All Dentist's and their staff to strive for. Thank you and your staff Dr. Tolman for the great kind caring way you treat me my family and friend's.

L.W.

I was given the most pleasant dental experience I have ever received. The procedure was done gently with care from start to finish. Never in my life has a dentist experience been that easy on my nerves and my mouth. In the future, I would love to return to this practice for further dental care and will recommend this office to my friends and family.
