Who Is Born Into An Agrarian Community?

My first exposure to dentistry, out of the chair, came when I began babysitting for a dentist. He worked on the weekends, and his daughter and I would tag along. Initially I stayed as far away from the dentist chair as possible, but later, I became curious, and gradually observant. By the time I reached high school, I was intrigued by every aspect of dentistry. The procedures quickly turned from one of torment into something more familiar. Coming from a family of engineers and contractors, I recognized the doctor’s instruments because they were similar to tools I had grown up watching my father use. I began to think of dentistry as performing small scale construction in a small hole. Performing such intricate procedures while simultaneously utilizing my mind and hands both excited me and complimented my detail attentive personality.

After more than five years of the completion the economic bachelor degree and uncompleted Master degree, now I am pursuing a totally new career, Dental Hygiene, even though I never thought about before. My life was driven around the social trends without thinking of what I really wanted. Now I have chances to pursue my aspirations; I have idea of doing something that I can help people, devolve my life to society. In my country, the science and technology is not modern enough to provide residents the best knowledge about the importance of oral hygiene. Those students like me can appropriate the most modern technologies to help our people. It is so amazing that Dental Hygienists can provide valuable services whereas building the trustworthy connections with patients. As a result, I chose dental hygiene as the foundation for my health profession since.

Throughout my life, dentistry has been defined through various circumstances. During childhood, a visit to the local dentist was as simple as getting my teeth cleaned and a free toothbrush. However, throughout my professional career in the field of dentistry, I can confidently conclude that dentistry is a limitless field in which art and science collide. It is a health profession where during the educational process, one develops the skills to pursue their desires and with experience further enhances their skills throughout life. Dentistry enables professionals to alter a person's facial appearance, alleviate a patient from pain, and bring about an impact on the patient through their smiles.

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 interest in dentistry was sparked at a young age through my volunteer activities in Egypt, where I was raised. At 12 years old, through the Egyptian Federation for Boys Scouts, we visited a village in North Egypt. There I met people my age who were underprivileged, including Youssef. Something was wrong with Youssef's mouth, but I was afraid to ask him. When I returned home, I kept wondering what was wrong with Youssef and couldn't figure it out. Two weeks later, my mother took me for a dental checkup. I brought Youssef's picture, hoping the dentist could provide me with answers. He told me Youssef had a cleft lip and palate. He said it needed surgical intervention to be corrected and that these procedures are only performed in major medical centers, not in rural villages like Youssef's. I was intrigued by his explanation and asked him questions about the scope of

Tracking down the holy-mouth-man normally once or twice a year, to seek “ablution” for their oral needs, they shower the nurse the medicine man and their nurse with gifts, in trade for pain with probes and ingredients to do by themselves afterwards. The most vivid illustration of clients willingly accepting the gravest pain in hopes that the oral care, is duly necessary as it characterizes how abnormal the American lifestyle can actually genuinely be. Dental clients of the “holy-mouth men” put their gifts and time to the men because of the underlying belief that if it “were [it] not for the rituals of the mouth, they [the clients] believe that their teeth

Dental hygiene plays an important role in oneś life, from infanthood to elderhood oral health is a visual into healthy bodies. Throughout one’s life annual dentist visits are a need to keep a mouth fresh and disease free. Looking back into my own childhood and the first visit, I was happy to be there. In fact, I found this new adventure in the dentist office better than being in a doctor's. Being a small child and coming into the office for a check up, the first face I saw was a dental hygienist. That meeting later motivated me to do all my studying to become one myself.

ith a weary face and sweaty palms, I walked into the gloomy dental offices as a yearly ritual. The intimidating environment of the office made me feel knots in my stomach. As a child I never enjoyed visiting dentists because I was convinced that these humans were merciless people who could not care less if I was in pain. Ironically, the lifetime career I seek for now is the career I disliked before. The decision to become a dentist developed when I had the desire to give children a better experience and a different perspective on professionals of this field. From my experience, the dentists were not gentle and did not give me time to collect myself before pulling a tooth out. Orthodontics is a profession that I am pursuing since I have consistently desired to work in a healthcare career that enables me to help people by using my interest and talents in hand motor and communication skills. I strive for perfection and work patiently, as well as diligently, which will help me throughout this profession. There are skills that I need to obtain such as shadowing or volunteering in a dental office, which is also part of the educational preparation needed for dental school. All of these talents combined are essential for a typical day in dentistry in which I need to create a safe and comfortable environment for the excessive amounts of patients daily

Naraghi, the general dentist that I shadowed for almost a year, had always told me to follow a career path that makes you excited to get up in the morning and I would always think about dentistry at that moment. In his office, I set up the room for patients, took their blood pressure and helped them feel more comfortable. I also spent a significant amount of time with Dr. Naraghi learning about dental tools and their uses. He became my mentor and familiarized me with different responsibilities of a dentist. He shone light on how special is the bound between a patient and his dentist as you could always hear him singing when working on his patients and they seemed to love his attitude and sometimes even request songs from

Sitting at the kitchen table, looking up at the family portrait of myself and our five children, my husband and I reflected on why I chose to leave the military. As we spoke, I reminded him that I wanted a career that I genuinely enjoyed and offered stability; although I was pursuing a degree in Accounting at Thomas Nelson Community College, I was not motivated in truly making it a career. My husband’s response was candid yet, simple and encouraging: “You love teeth and oral hygiene, go be a dentist!” As a consequence of that life-changing conversation, I have made strides towards dentistry as a profession, one which as has been filled with uncertainties, challenges, gratification, and growth. I eagerly look forward to embarking the next phase in achieving my goals of becoming a dentist by obtaining my Masters in Medical Science from Hampton University.

In the course of my work on this project, I had a firsthand understanding on the concept of dental emergencies. It requires precision, speed and the expertise of a

As an undergraduate student, I did not want to lose the training I had gained from my first dentist I shadowed. Thus, I volunteered to work as a student dental assistant and observed various dental procedures. The more time I spent shadowing Dr. Chun, the more my fondness for dentistry grew because I loved watching procedures such as a tooth restoration and tooth extraction. I loved being in the office and witnessing Dr. Chun alleviated the pain of her patients. Her desire went beyond fixing the oral problem but also she educated her patients on preventative measure. Dr. Chun taught me the importance of oral health, and how important it was to educate others on preventative measures. In the

It was the medical establishment that helped transform dentistry from a trade to a profession and brought scientific objectivity to dental practice. In the mid-1800s, medical school faculty provided physician leadership, financial and structural support and founded the nation’s earliest dental schools in Ohio state (Epstein, 2008; Robinson, 1975). Despite these interdisciplinary foundations, however, the establishment of a separate path of education and training for dentists served to definitively isolate oral health from the rest of medical

My desire to constantly challenge myself fueled my decision to pursue dentistry. I strive to achieve intellectual stimulation and to positively impact the lives of others. Those same aspirations, coupled with insights gained through observing oral and maxillofacial surgeons in private practices and operating rooms, motivates me to pursue a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery. My experience
