00:04.262 --> 00:06.432
- My name is Specialist Samantha Davis,

00:06.432 --> 00:07.964
and I am a dental assistant.

00:07.964 --> 00:09.737
Since I was in high school, I've always loved teeth.

00:09.737 --> 00:12.308
So it's just something that I decided to go for,

00:12.308 --> 00:15.231
and just being able to help someone smile and be happy

00:15.231 --> 00:16.601
with their personal look.

00:16.601 --> 00:18.527
So I actually joined the Reserves to go to school

00:18.527 --> 00:19.882
as a dental hygienist.

00:19.882 --> 00:21.870
This is my home town, or my home state,

00:21.870 --> 00:23.216
so I love the fact that I work here,

00:23.216 --> 00:26.061
I'm actually able to help everyone from where I'm from,

00:26.061 --> 00:27.992
and being able to assist in any way possible.

00:27.992 --> 00:30.310
South Dakota's beautiful, the culture around here

00:30.310 --> 00:31.603
is just beautiful to me.

00:31.603 --> 00:34.298
It has hit home, it makes me feel really special.

00:34.298 --> 00:36.651
And so, we're honestly open for anything,

00:36.651 --> 00:38.828
from cavities, to root canals, extractions,

00:38.828 --> 00:40.722
so I see a little bit of everything.

00:40.722 --> 00:43.297
I guess my takeaway is just knowing

00:43.297 --> 00:45.623
how much we have and how much they don't have,

00:45.623 --> 00:47.373
and the fact that we are here helping them,

00:47.373 --> 00:50.072
and they appreciate every bit of help that they get.

00:50.072 --> 00:53.489
It's truly a blessing to be where we are.
