The dental clinic is land based away from the ship in a local buiding of some type.  In Honduras, we were on the Naval Base.  In Sierra Leone, it was a new birth center that had some spare rooms we could use.  I am the only full time dentist, and other dentists come usually for 2 or 3 weeks, or up to several months.  We have up to 4 dentists and 1 hygienist at a time.

We set up about 4-5 Portable dental chairs and perform fillings (on front and back teeth) and extractions free of charge for the local people.
At certain times, a portion of the team may travel to a remote village where there is little or no transportation to extract painful teeth in a setting such as these.
