On Saturday, however, the dental work didn’t require payment. For eight hours, the team from Dentistry With A Heart, started in 2006 by Dr. Pat Clark, performed free extractions, cleanings and fillings. “They’re a blessing.

Practicing dental hygiene in the Kingdom of Bahrain

The citizens of Bahrain receive free dental and dental hygiene services when attending the health clinics.
