The most valuable thing about my work is the opportunity to provide individuals with a truly positive experience while doing something that often carries a negative stigma. If I can change someones perception about the importance of oral health, if I can allay someones dental anxiety or fear, if I can help restore someones confidence in their appearance, then I know Im making the differences I wish to make.
