What inspired you to pursue a career in dentistry?
I’ve been a dental assistant for over 20 years, and I can honestly say—I still love what I do! Dentistry isn’t just about teeth; it’s about helping people feel good about themselves. Seeing the impact a healthy smile can have on someone’s confidence and well-being is what keeps me inspired every day.
What is your favorite part about helping patients achieve their dream smiles?
The best part? That moment when a patient finally looks in the mirror and smiles—really smiles—after years of hiding their teeth. Whether they’ve been dealing with pain or just feeling self-conscious, seeing their happiness and relief is everything. Knowing I played a role in that transformation makes every day worthwhile.
If you could share one tip for maintaining excellent oral health, what would it be?
Besides keeping up with your daily brushing and flossing, don’t skip those regular dental visits! Coming in every six months (and getting X-rays when needed) can save you from major dental headaches down the road. Prevention is key—trust me, your future self will thank you!
