Dr. Paul Farmer inspired countless medical workers
to serve the most deprived, hurting people in the world
“For me, an area of moral clarity is: you're in front of someone who's suffering and you 
have the TOOLS at your disposal to alleviate that suffering or even eradicate it,  and you act.”

“With rare exceptions, all of your most important achievements on this planet
will come from working with others—or, in a word, PARTNERSHIP.”

Dr. René J.M. Gruythuysenn
“I hope that colleagues will become increasingly committed to effective oral care for children."

Dr. Martin MacIntyre proved the protective powers of GI sealants
when his team treated 150,000 teeth in children without incident in the 80s & 90s over a 12 year period
"Can a dentist leave caries untreated knowing that the patient might not return for followup care? 
Do dentists have an obligation to offer a minimal treatment that can prevent pain & tooth loss?
Dentists must have an interim caries control option even though the results may seem sub-optimal.
A preventable toothache . . .  is professional neglect."
