MEET Randy

He Went 48 Years Without Seeing a Dentist

Randy hadn’t seen a dentist since he was 10 years old. When a chip in his front tooth began affecting his confidence on camera, RAM helped restore the smile he had been hiding for years.

Over time, a large chip in Randy’s front tooth became something he simply had to live with.

For Randy, the need for care came with another barrier: confidence.

As a pastor and online Bible reviewer, Randy is often in front of cameras. He records videos, gives interviews, and shares his work with thousands of people online.

But because the chip was on his front tooth, he knew it was one of the first things people could see.

“And now I can do that kind of video without having the chip there... Just, it's gonna feel better."

At the RAM Clinic, board member and volunteer dentist, Dr. Brian Swann, repaired the chip in Randy’s front tooth and helped him understand how to care for his teeth moving forward.

What stood out most was how Dr. Swann explained everything.

“He was giving me advice, giving me points, and not judging. Just telling me what I need to know. And it didn’t come across bad at all. It came across kind and polite.”

After 48 years without dental care, Randy looked in the mirror and saw his front tooth restored.

The chip that had affected his confidence on camera was gone.

Now, he could return to his work as a pastor, writer, and online Bible reviewer without worrying that his smile would distract from his message.
