Why I love dentistry: “I have gotten to know so many wonderful people and families through dentistry. It’s the perfect mix of science and arts and crafts, and is equally enjoyable to be able to get a patient out of pain or do a cosmetic case.  It never gets old seeing how smiles can change someone’s outlook and confidence.”
