Why would you ever want to become a dentist?

“Why did you want to become a dentist?” I hear this question often and
the answer is simple; I want to make
people feel better about themselves
and their appearance. As we age, our
bodies go through several changes,
like our clothes don’t fit and there are
more wrinkle lines on our faces. But,
there’s one thing that does not have to
change and that is our teeth.
When you give someone back that
youthful smile, everything else about
them changes. They increase their
self-esteem by laughing and smiling
more often or being able to eat certain
foods again. Whatever their motivating factor, playing a part in changing
someone’s life makes dentistry one of
the most satisfying jobs one can do.

early childhood orthodontic development and TMJ.
