In the 7th grade I suffered a traumatic injury to my mouth which resulted in a broken front tooth. My family often struggled financially and unfortunately my parents did not have the means to pay for me to have my tooth fixed. I remember feeling self-conscious, uncomfortable and would rarely smile. Kids often teased me and called me names which greatly affected my self-esteem and confidence. After what seemed like an eternity living with my damaged smile, I was able to get my tooth fixed. Once again, I was back to the happy, confident young man my family, friends and teachers knew.
Adversity is one of lifes few guarantees. It comes in all shapes and sizes and we all handle it differently. It was because of this childhood experience that I chose to pursue a career in pediatric dentistry. I strive to help children feel confident and empowered by exhibiting a bright, happy and healthy smile.
