“I’ve seen the effects of the lack of dental care in rural villages. Oral care here in the villages can be unreliable due to the shortage of dental staff, as well as financial means to travel to another village or city to obtain dental care. I don’t have a problem residing in a village for a work site because I’ve lived in the village of Kotlik all my life. I love the community environment and want to help children avoid life long dental problems. I would love to bring smiles to the villages, just as though I were the Tooth Fairy.”
