Abstract

Extract:
It is a Wednesday morning and Pengelatan Primary School is decked out in festive flags and an air of excitement. Each of the 450 pupils – including those in the kindergarten – is looking well turned out in freshly laundered uniforms and neatly combed hair. Some, in Balinese mode, wear a flower behind the ear. The carnival atmosphere erupts into applause when the dentist’s van drives in. For almost all, this is their first encounter with a dentist.
