' My decision to become a dentist began at the end of high school after visiting a dentist. I had a tooth bothering me for a few days. The dentist I saw was extremely busy. He took one look at me, told me I had a cavity and rushed through the treatment, I felt uneasy and unsure about what was happening because I did not receive an explanation. Six months later I saw a black circle around my tooth. This time I needed a root canal for the same tooth because the tooth was not treated properly initially. This was an additional procedure. I left disappointed.
That day I decided to apply to dental school. During school and shortly afterwards I developed the values that guide me though my practice: perform the treatment right from the beginning, explain all the procedures and the after care in simple easy to understand terms and teach dental preventions and maintenances to every patient.
After practicing for several years I decided to continue my education in periodontics. I noticed that not just the health of the tooth is important but also the 'gums'. Even if you treat the tooth but the gum is weakened the result will not be satisfactory. Gum disease can be prevented and maintained.
