The ocean blue bracelet she wears was made by a little girl she treated on the school’s annual mission trip to the Dominican Republic. “Sometimes I get feelings like, ‘I can't do this. This is too hard for me. This is too complex,’” she said. “I look at this bracelet, and I just remember, I can do it.”

At age 10, Joseph Choukair took a fall while playing and hit his face on the edge of a table. Something wiggled in his mouth. He touched it, and his front tooth came off with its root. RSDM alum Stephen S. Grober '99 did a root canal, reimplanted the tooth, and splinted it with braces. "It was so inspiring for a ten-year-old," said Choukair. "He made a difference in my life that day and made me want to do dentistry."
