THE OTHER DAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT my career in dentistry, and reflecting on the reasons why I became a dentist here in Salt Lake City. I love what I do each day. And so does Dr. Daniel. I know there are many people in the world who can’t honestly say that about their job—so, I feel really lucky to be able to say that.
Then, I thought about YOU, my valued patients, and how much I appreciate the trust you place in me, in Daniel, and in our team.
I know that many of you are in the early stages of choosing your own career paths—OR, you have children or grandchildren who are making career decisions right now.
If Daniel or I can ever be of help to you—or to somebody you care about—in answering questions about the varied careers in the dental profession, please let us know.
Some of the things both Daniel and I love most about being a dentist is the mix between science, management, engineering, and artistry. Each day is different, and we love the challenges.
Another thing I really enjoy is the continuing education component of what I do. Technological advances in the dental profession happen every day as techniques, materials used, and procedures become increasingly advanced. The opportunities to learn and improve are endless.
But most of all, the thing I probably like best, is the opportunity to really help people and to make a difference in their lives. I know it may not seem like much, but the personal fulfillment that comes from helping people feel better about their smile and/or oral health is fantastic. Sometimes “feeling better” means “physically” better (if someone is uncomfortable or in pain). Sometimes “feeling better” means “emotionally” better (such as helping someone have the self confidence to smile again).
Thanks again for being friends of our dental practice. And, once again, I extend the invitation to you or someone you care about to visit with me about careers in the dental profession.
In case you’re interested, I’ve attached BOTH a brochure AND a short video below that will help you learn more about careers in dentistry.
