'I have had the opportunity to spend time helping people at the front desk as well as assisting the doctor in the treatment rooms. Ive also spent my fair share of time in the dental chair having my teeth worked on. This has given me the chance to experience dentistry from multiple perspectives. I find it fulfilling to be able to use what Ive learned about dentistry from each of these angles in order to empathize with patients and to help them understand the processes involved in taking care of their teeth.'
