§ The transformation was remarkable; in just a year I experienced a
complete turnaround in how I viewed the world. Where before I
was hesitant and timid, now I had confidence and hope. I didn’t
have to hold my hand over my mouth or smile without showing
teeth, just to avoid embarrassment.
§ I could smile and laugh as big as I wanted – all because of how my
teeth had changed. I realized then the power of a great smile; the
power to heal and be healed, the power to overcome what had
seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. My orthodontist had
given me more than straighter teeth and a normal smile; he had
literally given me my life back.

§ How did wearing braces and going from “Bugs Bunny” to “Prettiest
Smile” change me? The monthly visits to the dentist and having to brush
my teeth four times as much to keep them clean certainly made me more
aware of teeth and dentistry overall. But it was the feeling of gratification
and compliments that I received that boosted my self- esteem and made
me want to become a dentist. I just wanted to provide that same lifechanging experience to others.
§ My smile was a minor road block that, with the support of a caring
mother and dentist, I was able to overcome. It taught me to be open and
honest about the things that I needed to work on to improve myself. I
learned that if you share your feelings and thoughts, just maybe someone
will listen and help (even when you don’t expect it) or at least present
options of how to get help.

§
In my dental practice, I take the same approach that my dentist did with me. I always
ask my patients what is on their dental “wish list” and what would they change about
their smile if they could. I really listen to how they feel and look at their mannerisms
as they share their feelings. It’s the best feeling in the world to see someone literally
change before your eyes after changing their smile.
§
It could be the smallest thing, from seeing someone happy with having the tartar and
stains being removed from their teeth after a thorough cleaning or something big like
seeing someone hold the mirror up to see their new smile makeover with porcelain
veneers. Either way, the pleasure that I get is still the same. It’s all about making my
clients happy and I’m constantly reassured with feedback from my happy clients that I
was born to be a dentist!

§ Looking back on it all, I cringe to think of how my future might
have turned out had I not gotten braces when I did. How my
senior year of high school would have been different; how my
overall being would have been different. In fact, looking back I
know that changing my appearance through dentistry helped me
become a dentist in my own right.
