Dentistry, family, and lending a helping hand are Dr. Ludlow's main priorities.

Dr. Ludlow was able to treat several residing patients using painless anesthetic and surgical techniques. In preparation of his visit, Dr. Ludlow and his family headed a campaign to bring supplies to a local Guatemalan newborn hospital. This particular hospital delivers babies in a safe environment but must often send newborns home wrapped in nothing but newspaper or rags. Dr. Ludlow and his girls raised enough money to assemble and distribute over 80 kits which included diapers, clothing, blankets, soap, etc. After returning to the states, Dr. Ludlow stated the following:

"It was a life changing experience for our family and we were very grateful to be able to provide this service to these wonderful children."
