Last week, ADI also delivered needed dental supplies and a mobile dental clinic to Joplin, because the tornado wiped out 19 dental offices.
'I spoke to one dentist who had been in his building for 40 years. He was able to retrieve one part of an X-Ray head and a microwave. Another dentist found one of his X-rays six miles away,' said Jim Kitch, vice president of sales and marketing for ADI.
