Working in the Emergency room gives an idea of the population’s needs in any particular area.  After working at the FREEDOME clinic, it gave me the opportunity to see the need of a dental clinic in Ocala. The E.R. offers to treat uninsured patients, but there is very little we can do when it comes to dental care. The most we can do is numb the area with local anesthetics and send patient home with pain medications. But most of them are unable to follow up with a dentist due to the costs. There are a few resources available but appointments are extremely far away for the patients. It was an honor to help during the Freedome clinic days last year. I would must definitely do it again.
