slightest idea what an amalgam was or why it causes so much controversy in the realm of dentistry. The controversy originates from the material that primarily makes up amalgams; that material is mercury. Now that this debate has commenced, dentists, scientists, and corporate organizations everywhere are arguing whether the use of amalgams should be banned or should remain a growing practice.

Growing up for me went a little something like this. All three of my sisters and I shared a king size bed in the attic of a rental house off 17th & Dorcas. In the mornings we would wake up to mom’s chorizo and tortillas on the stove. In the background you could hear Telemundo, a Spanish channel, on the television. Being that I was one of four siblings Birthday parties came often, and were celebrated with lots of carne asada, jugo for the kids, piñata’s, guacamole and lots of beer and music for the

Many people ask me why I continue to pursue dentistry after so many years of rejection. Consequently, this is not a question I can thoroughly answer. Maybe it's insanity, maybe it's pride, or maybe it's perseverance. It may even be a combination of all three.

Growing up, I always saw my father experience pain. He spent his life fighting for the independence of his home country, but lost an internal war. His body was slowly deteriorating due to the increasing uptake of carcinogens. The red, green, and black of the country he fought for became the black plaque accumulated inside him.
