In addition to the normal afflictions, many villagers suffered from dental problems. In 1970, His Majesty responded by establishing a Royal Mobile Dental Unit headed by his personal dentist. His instructions were:
"I would like you to look after the dental care of the students who live in remote areas. I will take care of all the necessary expenses and will provide you with a mobile dental unit to go out to isolated villages and hamlets." From that modest beginning, other teams were formed. Today, they are often the only exposure to dental care remote villagers will ever experience.
