Project Stretch, of which Dr. David Zelley and Debra White shared their experiences in Nicaragua. Their team went to the beautiful fishing village of San Juan del Sur. Their team worked closely with the dental and medical professionals in the village to provide preventative dental care to the children in the outlying campos. Children were examined, taught hygiene techniques and nutrition. A toothbrush prophylaxis was done on each child. The fluoride rinse program in these villages was continued. Children needing further care were seen in the clinic before the team left. While in the clinic, sealants were placed on as many teeth as time allowed. They also teach the brigadistas (community advocates from each of 20 outlying villages or campos) proper diet and toothbrushing techniques to be passed along to their community members.Six hundred children were seen during the team's visit.
