Scott Albert Samuel Olivia Jaylen Let's backtrack to review some of the care that was administered during the week in question in order to establish the cause for the inspector's visit.

His lower right molars had become so severely decayed that he was in excruciating pain. Dr. S offered the option to extract the teeth, and Mark decided to have the procedure performed immediately. • Fourteen-year old Stephen had a biking accident. His front tooth hit the handlebars and knocked the bracket loose and bent the wire in his braces. Dr. S determined that no additional damage was done besides the one loose bracket and was able to complete the repair of the braces. • Carla, Scott, Albert, and Samuel all came in for their bi-annual checkup.
