Nomu, 52, explained that he needed a tooth adjustment after a bicycle accident “many years ago.”
Noem chose to fly more than 1,000 miles from the South Dakota governor’s mansion to Sugar Land, Texas, for the two surgeries she needed to repair her smile, rather than having them done locally.
“They were truly phenomenal,” the governor said of Smile Texas dentists.
