!VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT!

Ihno is a Junior at UW-Madison and chose dentistry due to admiring the relationships dentists can build with their patients, along with enjoying the hands-on and artistic aspects of the profession. Some advice he would tell a freshman is to start volunteering or shadowing your freshman year, you wont regret it.

Ihno's favorite food is Kimchi jjigage, and one of their hobbies is composing.

We are excited to have Wes as part of the MSW team!

Meet Claire, our newest Youth Apprentice! She joined the program due to wanting to study dentistry in college, and wanting more hands-on experience in the field. While she hasn’t been here long she has already learned how to take different x-rays and sterilize equipment, but hopes to learn more about extractions and fillings. In her free time she likes to spend time with family & friends, travel and boating!

When asked what barriers he experienced in finding dental care, MSW patient, Josh, stated that he had experienced numerous challenges, with the greatest being embarrassment and shame about the condition of his teeth. He then went on to say that the hospitality from all of the staff and the level of care he receives keeps him coming back to get his dental needs addressed.

Stories like Josh’s remind us why our work matters. We are deeply grateful for the support of our community, funders, and patients who are willing to share their experiences. Because of that support, More Smiles Wisconsin can continue creating a place where individuals feel safe, respected, and seen—and where they can regain not only their oral health, but their smiles as well.
