How I fell in love with dentistry: My interest in dentistry started as a young child. I was always very curious and enjoyed going to the dentist. Despite needing some fillings, I was very interested in seeing the materials used to restore a tooth. As a teenager, I needed orthodontic treatment, and at that time I knew that I wanted to be a dentist.
