“ [Endodontic
treatment] can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life... [Our patient will] stand out forever. Her smile showed the outside exactly how she was on the inside. ”
– Sommer Wisher
“That’s an extensive treatment plan for a nonprofit, but we can’t use all of our resources on one person. Months later, she came in to say thank you and show us pictures and tell us about the ‘new smile’ party she gave for her friends and family. She was a different person,” Wisher recalls. “It can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life. Yes, there’s better nutrition and a healthier bacterial load, but now with the confidence to finally present how she feels on the inside, which I think people lack when they have oral health issues or are lacking teeth. It was pretty phenomenal. She’ll stand out forever. Her smile showed the outside exactly how she was on the inside.”
