“I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip and was quite surprised to see how far people would travel just to see a dentist. Seeing the bright smiles on their faces after just receiving a toothbrush was really a turning point for me. Those big smiles brought with them a realization, oral health is so important to our well-being and overall health. From that day on, I wanted to be a part of a team that helps patients improve their oral health so they can live happier and healthier lives!”
