How I fell in love with dentistry:

When I was a kid, I always thought going to the dentist was fun. When I was 5 years old, I was asked to draw what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I drew myself as a dentist. My love for dentistry grows stronger every year because it's my passion to take care of people and make them smile with confidence.
