    Through participation within the VCU Dental Pipeline program this summer, my aspects of the dental career focused and became a little more clearer inspiring me to lean my future more into the study of different sciences.

To be specific there are questions that are left unanswered in my mind like what are the reactions and the perfect environment/circumstances for a tooth to form, grow, operate, and thrive within the mouth. So being apart of the program can greatly benefit my knowledge in…

    Traditionally, the dental profession and the medical profession were perceived as two separate entities, however, this bifurcated health system has created an epidemic in oral disease with our aging population (Nagro, 2016).

The majority of research conducted on children is composed of quantitative…
