Dentistry Personal Statement

My professional goal is to become more advanced and precise in my work and knowledge by getting a dental degree in the United States. Also, I want to make our society healthy by providing exceptional dental care to all age groups and to various population. I want to concentrate especially on patients with special needs such as mentally and physically disabled, the elderly, medically compromised and the underserved. I also want to contribute for research to treat people better. Moreover, I would like to participate to help future dental students and make them outstanding dental professionals.

When it came to choosing a prospective career path, I was sure that I wanted to pursue dental therapy. I have always wanted to be in a profession which is involved with scientific applications but also coincides with patient care and truly improves people’s quality of life. I believe that dental therapy is an ever growing sector, with constant advancements in treatment and patient care which provides endless opportunities for further studying and specialisation, whilst providing a stable interesting career. The decision of taking a course in dental therapy was reinforced when I had the opportunity to shadow a dental hygienist in a dental studio, he gave me an honest insight as to what I would be taking part in.

At the conclusion of her high school academic career, Claire Keller planned to enter a field far from that of dental hygiene, one perhaps centered on the natural world. She even began an internship at a fish and wildlife park in order to explore related career opportunities. It wasn’t until a friend of hers told her that she was going into dentistry that she was reminded of her many positive experiences in dentist offices throughout her early life. She has always received her dental work at the Wakarusa Family Dentist Office in town and always felt welcomed and encouraged there.

To start, I have always had an interest in the health field and knew it was where I saw my future. I came across dental hygiene and quickly became fascinated. I learned just how important it can be and how many tend to overlook it. Given the opportunity, I would like to make sure my patients understand the importance of dental hygiene and share my knowledge. I feel because I have been given an opportunity that others weren’t so fortunate to receive; it is my responsibility to give back. I come from a small community in Northern New Mexico in which I plan to return and offer my knowledge and skills. I also have plans of doing missionary work for those who are unable to afford dental care. To be accepted into the prestigious Division of Dental

Many invaluable experiences helped me decide my path to dentistry, starting from my swim competition, to voluntary activity, and to a dental assistant. I became captivated by healthcare professional careers ever since I realized that it involve creativity, technical and scientific expertise and helping others. I was pursuing a career that will make me feel satisfied, challenged and rewarded, then I concluded, the dentistry was a great fit. From my first swimming competition, I gained an inexplicable satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. I was swimming like it was a matter of life and death until my hands hit the wall.

Every little girl wants to be a princess, at an early age I wanted to be a doctor. 10 years later, that passion I had is still here. Throughout my high school years, I’ve gained certifications, became CPR certified, and joined HOSA (Health Club) through the academy. But it wasn’t until I began volunteering at my local dental office, that I got my calling, teeth. I plan on attending Florida’s International University; the campus is beautiful as well as their programs

It is evident that it is truly where my head, heart and hands, become one. Being a dental hygienist and working in close proximity with the dentist has served to strengthen my desire to take my education and service to the next level. I want to increase my knowledge about the science behind dentistry and learn everything I need to know to be a great dentist and apply it into practice. Improve constantly and strive to provide the highest quality of oral health care available to patients by delivering meticulous, gentle, thorough, reassuring dentistry and exceeding patient satisfaction. Dentistry without a doubt, is the profession for me. I believe I have the qualities that are essential to making a great dentist along with the academic motivation in order to replace my interest for dentistry with the expertise that will help me provide quality oral care. If my greatest aspirations are to provide pain relief, to develop patient rapport, and utilize creativity in working with my hands, then dentistry is, indeed, my

At the age of thirteen, I decided that I wanted to become a dentist. I have since read countless dental textbooks explaining everything from anatomy to treatment of oral diseases. My junior year of high school, I entered the Dental Assistant program at the Clark County Skills Center. Through the program I gained the knowledge needed to become a dental assistant. The Skills Center further strengthened my decision to become a dentist by teaching me how the dental world truly functions. In December of 2105, at the age of 16, I became a Certified Dental Assistant and began working at Design Dentistry. Working at Design Dentistry with Dr. Wenzinger has inspired me to continue my education, and I plan to further my education to become a dentist.

The Pre Dental-Externship class gives me a significant opportunity to understand what is a dentist. I had class every Monday evenings at Concordia College. Different dentists came and shared their experiences in every class period. They always brought lots of impressive stories, experiences to the class. In particularly, Dr. Gruchalla shared her feeling and the way that she balanced between family and job. Dr. Pollard taught how to control financial in practice. Dr. May and Dr. Noffze displayed many impressive oral surgery cases. Through their stories and their experiences, I got an insight into the dental field that this job was not only the care and the treatment of teeth but also about communication, business, social

As a teenager, I read Doctors by Erich Segal and instantly, my love for medical sciences was born. Though, I was certain that I wanted to pursue a career in health sciences, dentistry was not always what I had in mind for a career. But it was my father’s dream and I decided to live it. In 2009, at the beginning of my first term in

My decision to pursue dentistry came about after great insight and thoughtfulness. Many experiences at various times in my life have led me to recognize my capabilities, desires, and passions which have eventually paved the path of dentistry. Over the years, growing up in India, a country so glaringly deficient of adequate healthcare services, ignited the passion in me to contribute by being a healthcare provider. Throughout my school years, my primary interest was science and I was an active and successful participant at the annual science fair for many years. At school, I made multiple practical science projects while also finding time to practice and enjoy my childhood passion for painting. By the time I reached high school, I began to recognize that dentistry would be the most appropriate career choice for me as it incorporated my passion of community service through healthcare with my capabilities of hard work, determination and manual dexterity.

‘Randi, why would you want to look into someone’s mouth?’ is a question I frequently am asked when I tell someone of my future aspiration of becoming a dentist. Every time I am asked this question I cannot help myself but to chuckle a little because to me becoming a dentist is so much more; to me being a dentist is about becoming a contributing member of the community as well as an advocate of compassion, mentorship, and social justice. Becoming a dentist will allow me to utilize my creative and academic abilities while servicing others. I am fortunate to have the ability to understand complex concepts, ideas, and theories and can simplify them for others, so they may gain their own basic understanding. On the other hand, I am motivated to give thanks for this ability and to offer my service as a dental professional to assist in the health needs of those served and underserved in my community.

I went on to Wayne State University and majored in Biology, and proudly graduated with a 3.77 grade point average. The feeling of achievement on graduation day made the early mornings, long days, and sleepless study nights worth it. On graduation day, my family and I were ecstatic as a result of my academic achievements, but they all saw the hunger in my eye for more—much more. Since that point, I have taken the DAT and achieved a score of 21. Right now, I am happy to say that I am physically, mentally, and spiritually the healthiest I have ever been. As a result, I am prepared to not only succeed in dental school, but I am also prepared to set new precedents and develop the art of dentistry within the vast capacity I believe I

Everyone hopes to be something great when they grow up, whether it is a fairy princess, a rodeo cowboy, or a popular superhero. As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a dentist. Through this discovery at a young age, I found it to be a career that would be suitable for me because it had seemed that I was always having something done in a dentist’s office. Remembering the many times I would have to go and sit in a reclining chair at the dentist’s office , getting teeth pulled, getting braces, or having my wisdom teeth removed. For whatever reason I was there, I was content and saw my time at the dentist’s office to be a great opportunity to learn what it is a dentist really does. I had the opportunity to work with various
