María
Treated Jan 2022 · paid by the 2021 raise
María is a housewife. A fall left her with limited mobility and a deviated jaw. Her husband works in construction, and his income helps support the family.
She has been without teeth for more than half her life. María asked us to include two metal crowns that had belonged to her father.
Her case points to at least two generations, María and her father, losing their permanent teeth early, with irreversible damage to their oral health.
