ST Lucia’s Patricia Wright is calling on westsiders to donate money or dental supplies to children in Cambodia.
Morningside’s Richmond Road Dental colleagues Petrina Bowden, from Windsor, and Patricia Wright have been making regular trips to Sihanoukville, a town in Cambodia, to fix the teeth of streetkids at community shelter Mlop Tapang.
They work with donated equipment, train shelter staff and educate the children about the importance of good oral hygiene.
Dr Wright has travelled to the town several times, with her next trip scheduled in December next year.
But Dr Wright is urging locals to help out with donations where possible as one of her fellow colleagues plans to head to Cambodia early next year.
Dr Bowden said she became involved in 2007 after hearing about Mlop Tapang during a business trip to Bangkok, Thailand.
Dr Wright said there were many children in the village that suffered from dental problems.
To donate phone Dr Bowden on 0418 787 008 or Dr Wright on 0410 404 325.

It is quite easy to get cavities in kids teeth. They can be prevented by rationing sugary things to mealtimes, giving the teeth a break in between, the best brushing you can get with a kids Fluoride toothpaste and above all, keep very positive about going to the dentist, avoiding associations with negative things like pain, fear and hurt.
