This is also of personal interest to me because of recent experiences. I have been volunteering at a dentist's office. Last year, I was experiencing a great deal of pain with 16 decayed teeth. The dentist completely resolved my problem. This treatment made a world of difference for me physically and mentally, because I was no longer suffering. While helping out at the dentist's office, I have also seen how many people come here for decay problems like mine, dental bridge work, or cosmetic dentistry. Many of the patients when they first came to the office would not even grin, because they were ashamed of their looks. They left after several treatments smiling widely. One of my friends also had cosmetic dentistry. The changes in his teeth gave him much satisfaction...

From these experiences, I realized how much personal gratification I would have helping people in the same way.
One of my personal interests growing up was music. I enjoyed playing the piano and violin. Each of the notes alone on a page did not mean anything by itself. However, when composers put all of these notes together, they create a wide range of different types of music. As a doctor of dentistry, I will be able to use all the tools and techniques available today to solve different physiological problems, eliminate discomfort and pain, and positively alter my patients' appearance. I look forward to my future studies in the field of dentistry and knowing that I will soon be able to apply treatments to improve people's oral health.
