Dentistry occupations

May 29th, 2011 was the day my life changed forever. I had just turned 20 years old and was enrolled in college to be a dental hygienist. I had a funny feeling that something within me was very different; my friends told me not to worry about it, that it was nothing.

I completed dental assisting school being top 3 of my class and a few days…

been eager to learn new information about the human body, which is why I was ecstatic to join a medical terminology class that my school offers. The class instructor was a former dental hygienist who shared her knowledge and love for dentistry. She explained how she was on the road to becoming a dentist when family obligations prevented her from continuing her curriculum. She then always encouraged her students to never allow anything to distract you from your lifetime goals. The manner she…

Dentistry How my search began From the end of seventh grade I have strived to be a dentist. Lately I have been debating between two career paths, dentistry and anesthesiology. I am now nearing the end of my sophomore year so soon I need to decide what path is right for me. When Mr. Hostetter assigned us a paper where we could choose the topic, my brain immediately thought of dentistry. Hopefully writing this paper can give me some more information to help me decide on which career seems to fit…

Just by people commenting on how I had a great smile made me feel as if I was a new person.

This is exactly why I want to be dentist – to provide service to those that have faced similar challenges and also share the joy, benefits, and proud smile that I now…
