I was always interested in the health care field. After considering different fields when I was younger, I felt dentistry would be really what I wanted to throw my energy and ambition into. I think a lot of it has to do with the ability to have long-term relationships with your patients as opposed to seeing them for an emergency, taking care of them, and never seeing them again. So, we're at the point in the practice now, or I've treated the grandparents, the parents, and the kids and have long-term relationships, get birthday cards and wedding invitations and things like that. And it's very rewarding to have those long-term relationships while you're taking care of your patients’ health needs. Another aspect of my profession, for me at least, I really enjoy being myself around my patients, and you have that opportunity when you have those longer-term relationships. So, being myself and being able to take care of people's health, maybe being able to take care of a cosmetic concern or health issue, it's just the best of both worlds.
