I know a lot of good jokes. I'll provide the humour. A valued commodity I would expect when everyone is feeling down in the dumps.

Water treatment is an excellent skill.
As I soldier I am trained in field trauma first aid, and field sanitation. I am also an expert marksman, and a mechanic.

I have other skills, but I don't really like laying out all my cards out on the table.

I don't know if people have thought of this, but since getting a crown put in, your SHTF group really needs a dentist!

However there are resin based materials for fillings and other needs that can be used these days.
I had them use the stuff on me.

Resin crowns are ok, certainly not as durable as PFM or ceramics, however there's still the issue of availability of the required supplies. Beyond that, though, one also must consider availability of the tools and facilities needed to competently carry out many procedures. In a SHTF case, options will probably be fairly limited, and most of the medical/dental care issues would be based mainly on medical necessity.

Yes, I know, I was just using my recent experience with a crown as an example....but just trying to express toothaches can be horrible, and it would be very beneficial for your group to have an experienced dentist (don't really want to the pliers pulling out your teeth technique)
