My dad is a dentist,
and so I went into dentistry,
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.120
probably seeing him as a model growing up.
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.015
I was really interested in sciences in
college, and so I was looking maybe more
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:21.815
at dentistry and medicine, and just
decided that dentistry was
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:23.300
probably the better path for me.
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.560
We want our patients to feel relaxed,
comfortable, and really trust
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:33.520
us with their dental care and feel like
we have their best interest in mind.
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:40.575
I really enjoy patients that we've seen
several times and really been through a
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.760
journey together as far
as their dental care.
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.975
It's really amazing and rewarding for me
to be able to see a patient who started
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.895
out, maybe they were really anxious, maybe
they were in pain, maybe they just were
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.080
really uncomfortable or
ashamed of their smile.
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:01.135
And after several appointments and dental
treatments, we get them to a place where
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:03.240
they're almost a completely
different person.
