Dental Care
Outside the big cities people can still die through abscess of the gums and teeth in Russia.  Often the only dental treatment may be a long journey away and poorer people cannot afford to travel and resort to ‘old wives’ remedies’. Dental equipment can be antiquated and previous experiences or stories of dental work without pain relief means patients are often too scared to seek help quickly enough. X-rays may not be available in small towns so accurate diagnosis can also be a problem. Love Russia has created a complete dental clinic in a small rural town, and a village using modern equipment including a mobile dental clinic which travels around Internat/orphanages and villages which have no access to normal dental treatment.
