Both Medalla and her son opted to have their aching tooth extracted during the dental mission because their decaying tooth affected their daily lives. “Whenever my tooth is aching, my work is affected and my son incurs absences (in school) especially when the pain worsens.”
Si Medalla at ang kanyang anak na lalaki ay nagpabunot ng sumasakit nilang ngipin sa dental mission dahil ang nabubulok nilang ngipin ay nakakaapekto sa kanilang araw-araw na pamumuhay. “Sa tuwing sumasakit ang aking ngipin, naaapektuhan ang aking trabaho at ang anak ko ay hindi pumapasok (sa paaralan) lalo na sa tuwing grabe ang sakit ng kanyang ngipin.”
