What inspired you to pursue a career in dentistry?

Growing up in a family of medical professionals, I developed a deep respect for the power of healthcare to change lives. I chose dentistry because it’s so much more than just teeth—it’s about creating healthy habits, building relationships, and helping people feel their absolute best. What really inspires me is how dentistry combines science, precision, and care with the chance to truly connect with patients.


What is your favorite part about helping patients achieve their dream smiles?


There’s nothing more rewarding than that moment when a patient sees their smile and lights up with confidence. It’s like you can visibly see a weight lifted. Seeing them embrace their new smile with pride reminds me every day why I love what I do. It’s not just about teeth—it’s about empowering people to shine in every aspect of their lives.


If you could share one tip for maintaining excellent oral health, what would it be?


My top tip? Never underestimate the importance of regular dental checkups. Early detection is a game-changer—it helps prevent bigger issues down the road and keeps your smile at its best. Plus, these visits are a great opportunity to fine-tune your oral care routine and stay one step ahead in your dental health journey! And here’s a bonus tip I always share: don’t forget about your tongue! Giving it a gentle clean can make a huge difference in your overall oral health and keep your breath fresh all day.
