My Philosophy Statement Jessica Baise

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

Being a dental hygienist was not the career I grew up believing I would pursue. At a young age, up to my Junior year in high school, I had my goals set on being a veterinarian. Going into high school I widened that plan into any job dealing with animal science. However, taking classes like zoology, botany, equine science, veterinary technology and advanced animal science, made me realize that I would not have as much direct contact or personal connections with the animals as I had hoped. However I found that being a dental hygienist gives me the opportunity to have that direct contact and personal connections with my patients.

I made the decision to join the health care field based on my own desire, love of the people that live and thrive around me, and to be a role model for my daughter. I feel it is important to have a goal in life, and it is important to me to show my daughter the value of goals, and achieving them as well. I love meeting new people, and being able to lend a helping hand in any way I possibly can. What better way to help the general population then to have a profession in the health care industry.

A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the

My observations included a broad range of treatments from a simple filling or clean to diagnosing gum disease and complex procedures such as root canal surgery which really appealed to me as it shows the precision, accuracy and patience required by dentists when performing these intricate procedures and have learnt about the differences between private and NHS work. During my work experience, I have witnessed that one of the main qualities required by a dentist is to have good communication skills. This is utilised in helping patients feel at ease, discussing possible treatment plans and thus ensuring informed consent, and in working as an integral part of a dynamic

I have been interested in the health areas since I was 4, it was my dream and still is. Every time i go to the doctor's office my face brightens up, not because i am getting treated but because i get to see someone doing my dream job.

Dr. Thomas O’Leary, DDS, explains that in order to succeed, a dentist must genuinely care about his or her patients and their well beings. He believes that all dentists must see their role as helping and serving the community and that while the income aspect has its benefits, none of it has any value if the dentist has not helped his or her patient. Aside from the moral characteristics that dentists must posses in order to have a successful career, a dentist must also practice certain habits. One could describe a dentist as a meticulous person, a perfectionist, and a neat worker. Many tasks in dentistry require precision and perfected motor skills when working with small tools in the confined space of a mouth. Dr. O’Leary also believes that in general, dentists must have the willpower to work hard for what they want (O'Leary). If a dentist can excel in each of these areas, he or she will have a lucrative

Health care professionals provide succor to people when they are at their most vulnerable and that benevolence cannot be underestimated. I chose to become a nurse because from the first time the pneuma, that breathe of life, wells up in a being to their last exhalation there is a need. As the baby boomer generation and others live longer; the demand for health care professionals will only become magnified. These people will need care and assistance to alleviate medical issues that arise with aging. Assisting in people's recovery from illness and being able to see them return back to their loved ones is immensely gratifying. All of us need help at some point and how appreciative are we when we receive solace from gentle hands and unselfish

My father would always say because I loved to draw and help people as a child, “You are either going to become a world renown artist, or a nurse.” I chose the latter because who would not want to become a superhero who helps save civilian lives? Healthcare is a field that has many specialties like a diabetic nurse educator, midwife, or cardiac specialist. I chose diabetic care as my specialty

Being a dentist is a troublesome task. Just by saying "dentist" doesn't imply that an individual is a good dentist. No doubt, every doctor, either he is a physician or orthopedic or a dentist, he will provide his patients with the superior health care. But, what he forgets is the proper management of the dental practice. Yes, it is equivalently significant to focus on various dental practice transitions. And, even, it will create the long-lasting impressions on your patients. This will exponentially increase the reputation of the dentists. Therefore, dental practice management is a "necessary" for the dentists, who wish to reach the next level so that they can perform better and more professionally.

My current career interest is to become an orthodontist. This job career is something I wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I am a hard working, sociable, persistent individual that will pursue every challenge that is placed in front of me in order to achieve excellence and success. This career choice is also one that follows an individual for the remainder of their life. Once a dental student earns their degree and has finished all of their schooling, they are out in the world, ready to begin their work. They don't normally decide to take time off and come back to their profession. They have the luxury of doing dentistry up until retirement so they might as well take advantage of that. Dentist will always be in high demand going forward. I believe this job would be something that I could take great pride in every day.

It's really important to be in a health career in today's society, today's society is rough are economy is getting rough also pricing are becoming ridiculous high soon people that are working lower class jobs won't be able to afford to live so i find it important to be in a  health career because you're making a decent amount of money. In today's society people are continuously getting hurt not being careful with out doctors and nurses there would be no one to treat the hurting people.

I really enjoyed reading your responses to Shannon regarding quality versus quantity and productivity and profit. Being a patient care provider in a dental office myself, I can relate to the importance to focus on quality patient care as opposed to quantity for many reasons. One of the reasons why we should keep our focus on quality care is because we are licensed professionals and that makes us vulnerable to lawsuits if we are not careful. However, on the flip side, being an employee of a dental office frees me from paying large monthly or daily expenses by boss has to pay. So since I want to keep my position, I have to be mindful of productivity on a regular bases. Also, a profitable office will allow for more products or services

The day I found out that I wanted a career in the health field was the day of my grandma’s accident. I remember the day very well as if it just happened when she got in a car accident. Once I ran to her and saw all the blood rushing down her legs I called 911 and they immediately answered and came to the scene. I witnessed everything from where they asked me questions until they got her up in the vehicle. They were serious about there job and I immediately thought about how cool it would be to work with them. This is why I applied to volunteer to this great opportunity to accomplish my goal.

Dentistry is not just a career or a college degree to me, it’s the choice I have made in order to fulfill my passion. Since my childhood, I have been passionate and motivated to help the people in need. I believe that my feeling of helping others was mainly inspired by my parents who sway my enthusiasm; they were the driving force for me to become a dentist.
