Most of us, when we are very young, are taught good dental and oral health habits. And yet, even though we're aware of how important good oral hygiene is, we somehow fail to really take acre of our mouths as we get older. It's safe to say most adults in America brush their teeth at least once a day, but the figure goes down when we talk about flossing. That figure drops even more, rather dramatically actually, when we get into the subject of regular visits to the dentist. How many people are…

First we need to discuss what a prophylaxis actually is. If you’ve ever been to the dentist and got your teeth cleaned then you likely had a prophylaxis performed. During the procedure a dental hygienist will remove tartar, plaque, and stains from…

It has always been my dream to become a dentist. My passion starts since the first time I went to a dental clinic to have a check up on my teeth. I was captivated by how calm and composed the dentist was at that time as he was fixing my teeth. He spoke soothing phrases such as ‘you’re a good girl’ and ‘you’re really good at taking care of your teeth’ to keep me comfortable and calm throughout the procedure. Since then, I have always been fascinated by this caring profession. I believe being a…

I am enthusiastic to be able to do that to other children, because I now realize that my dental hygienist was only helping me. Germanna Community College is the school I am choosing to chase my goal and achieve my Associate’s…
