Who wouldn't want to help bring more smiles into the world? I truly believe that teeth mean so much more than just their basic function.
I was really surprised by how little people know about teeth and oral health, but even more so by how resourceful they are at finding alternatives. Wondering if you can brush your teeth with salt? Or why young children get cavities even when they don't eat sweets or drink soda? These are fantastic questions that show a real desire to improve oral health—people just lack the resources to get there.
I dream of becoming a dentist, and joining a dental mission is a big step in that direction. Assisting with treatments is an incredible way to learn, and getting to examine so many unique mouths is amazing—no two are alike, and it's so cool to see such variety!
