Personal Statement
Why I desire to pursue a dental education and how a dental degree will contribute to my personal and professional goals
Smile!" it's one of the first instructions we learn to obey as a child. We are told to smile when we meet someone and to smile at the camera. So why do so many people fear the dentist? A dentist is a health professional that helps people have smiles that are white, bright, and above all healthy. Dental health affects every person's overall physical health and self-esteem, often in invisible ways. Untreated gingivitis can cause periodontitis, tooth loss and may even increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Simply looking at a person's mouth and reviewing a patient's dental history can reveal a great deal about that person's diet. Does the patient consume too many sugary soft drinks? Even stress can be revealed to the eyes of a careful dentist, when the dentist realizes that a patient unknowingly grinds his or her teeth at night. A dentist thus can provide critical advice as to how to improve a patient's overall physical and psychological health, as well as help the patient practice better preventative oral care.
The world of dentistry today is particularly exciting because of the new technological improvements the profession has witnessed in recent years. As a child, I remember seeing an elderly friend of my grandmother put her dentures in a glass for cleaning. Now such uncomfortable equipment is almost unheard of, in a world of dental implants. The sophistication of x-rays to detect dental problems in their earliest stages has increased exponentially.
In my view, and what I would like to contribute to the profession personally in my future work as a dentist, is the ability of dentists to encourage patients to engage in preventative care. Dentists have a uniquely privileged position as health care providers in that they frequently treat patients of all ages. They can advise the tiniest children to take better care of their teeth by brushing and flossing every day. They can help adolescents avoid junk food and soda. Dentists can keep a vigilant eye upon the changes in oral health that occur in late middle age and during a patient's golden years to prevent painful tooth loss or decay later on. So why fear the dentist?
