Kevin, a widow living on Social Security and disability came to CADF with excruciating tooth pain. His oral examination, performed by CADF volunteer dentist Dr. Kelly Keith, revealed that Kevin had only three full teeth remaining, all of which were infected. All of his other teeth were broken. Dr. Keith extracted five of Kevin’s teeth which both eliminated his pain and prevented further infection.
Like many of the patients CADF treats through our partnership with St. Vincent de Paul, Kevin is medically fragile. His diabetes has confined him to a wheelchair and he lives alone. Because of you and your support of CADF, Kevin was treated by a dentist for the first time in 20 years. His mouth does not hurt anymore and he no longer struggles to chew his food.
