Personal Statement For Becoming A Dentist

In the upcoming school year I will be in my junior year. Hopefully I will be accepted to the dental hygiene program this semester and will be one step closer to achieving my goal of finishing college in four years. This will be my third year living in housing and I can steadfastly say that my experience at IUSB would not have been as enjoyable without the opportunity to live on campus. I have met a life-long friend who is able to be my roommate this year and next year, as well as a girl who is also in the dental hygiene program. This is a huge blessing to be able to live and be supported by a student going through the same stress and demands involved with the dental program. In addition to making lifelong friends, I have also created lasting

Ever wonder why your dentist doesn’t actually clean your teeth? It’s cause that’s the job of the dental hygienist. They are specialist at keeping your teeth and gums healthy and clean.

This latter element becomes very important when discussing this career field. The most basic elements that one must understand when considering becoming a dental hygienist are threefold; first, I must possess the education requirements that are necessary for admittance to this field. Second, I will discuss the nature of the work,

In life, choosing is never easy. Choosing what to wear, eat, where to go, and how to live. Choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life, is as easy as walking to the moon and back. There is no brochure that gives you a sure set of bullet points as to what you would like to do, instead, we are meant to simply discover what we would enjoy doing most. There are over a million different careers, yet I’ve chosen a profession in Dental Hygiene. Believe it or not, my first words were not in fact, “I want to become a dental hygienist”.

Growing up the main question a child is asked is, “What do you want to be when you grow up? “ , and most kids respond saying a doctor, lawyer, or a cop. In reality not everyone sticks to their first idea, and it’s slim that they actual start working in the chosen career. In my case, I have always wanted to work as a social worker or a therapist, but I realized it wasn’t in my budget. Therefore, I have decided; as well as, grew interest in being a dental assistant for a pediatric office.

I knew I wanted to be successful in life. I wanted my son to be proud of his mother. There was a strength in me I knew exsisted. I wanted to make an impact on my life and the life of others and I knew education was the key. I worked and continued to do research on healthcare careers and schools I could attend. After researching the different professions, I knew I wanted to be a Dental Assistant. I decided to move back to San Diego to pursue my new career.

I am writing to express interest in working with Sunrise Dental as a dental hygienist. I believe my skills, hard work ethics, and passion for preventive oral care will make me an asset to your team.

I even knew that a person could become a doctor of tooth care or someone who helps such a doctor like my aunt. But I wasn’t that special and was like everyone else as a child who wanted to become many things when they “grew up” like an inventor or an underwater scientist. It only makes sense then that I grew serious about my career choice during the last year of middle school because those years were full of big decisions. My fascination of teeth made me turn my desires to the health field, specifically to dental care because it combined my need to help others with the love of

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

The career I am pursuing is dental hygiene. Dental hygienists clean patient’s teeth, examine the mouth for diseases like gingivitis. My mom works for a pediatric dentist and I spend a lot of time at her work. That’s what made me choose this career. I love the atmosphere and how friendly everyone is.

At this time in my life, the career chose that I find more interesting is a Dental Hygienist. As a Dental Hygienist, I will have to work hard to succeed in my career. If I don’t go to college I won’t get a good education and I will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of different types of jobs.

Throughout my life people have commented that I should be in a profession that worked with people. Upon completing high school, I was not certain exactly what I wanted to do. I was interested in working with people but I determined that my dislike for blood and other unpleasant things dissuaded me from those type of careers. I chose Engineering as I though my interest in math and science would be a good fit. I found that what I enjoyed most were the projects, labs and working as a team. It was missing the direct involvement of helping people. I had often thought of dental hygiene as I enjoyed my visits to the dentist office and we have family friends that are both dentists and dental hygienists. I started to research what other options

I feel that I am well suited for a career in dentistry. No matter how many years of schooling it takes to become a dentist, I think that if I set my mind to it I will be able to succeed. The scariest part for me I think will be the first four years of college, taking the prerequisite classes. This scares me because I’m afraid that I won’t be able

I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older and looked at many choices in careers I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body along with other great opportunities that nurses have in this career. I want to become a nurse because I like being able to help those who are in need.

Over the years I have thought of many different careers and majors that I believed I should do. Most of the time they were based on what I saw other people, who I looked up to doing. My cousin Courtney was a lifeguard, so I wanted to be a lifeguard, my mom was a nurse, so I wanted to work in the medical field. Then I would be watching sporting events with my dad, and I wanted to be a sports journalist/reporter. It wasn’t until high school that I really started to look at what I liked to do and what I was good at.

A career in Dental Health Care will allow me to use my hands for service and literally bring smiles to people’s faces. My initial exposure to the dental profession as a potential career path was during my work experience at Wimborne Dental Practice. Here I learnt the real degree to which dentistry is a vocation, improving the quality of people's lives as well as being a 'hands-on ' profession, making it the career for me. I have always enjoyed helping and caring for others; for the last six months I have been volunteering at a care home where I help to plan and organise activities for the residents. This opportunity has helped me to recognise the great gratification that comes from working in a caring profession.
