I definitely did not enjoy going to my dentist and associated each visit with anxiety and pain. Now, as a dentist myself, it's very important that I provide gentle, empathetic, and informative care to my patients in an effort to improve their experience and impression of dentistry.
What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
Completing cases and transforming patient's lives and confidence with their brand new smiles. I am always excited for that initial reaction when a patient looks at themselves in the mirror for the first time after their ortho debond!
