As I belonged to a remote area, which lacked proper dental facilities and technology along with skilled dentist, the only treatment they would offer was extraction. Due to which my mother lost a lot of her teeth at a very early age of her life. I would see her struggle with eating and also facing social awkwardness when meeting with her friends or people.

All the various factors that lead me to dentistry amounted to just a part of my decision to become a dentist, the other half of my decision came from the simple question, “(w)ill this be a satisfying career for me?” A satisfying career, to me, is defined by whether or not I can use my career as a means to assist others and experience a sense of accomplishment and self-gratification in helping others. The notion of a satisfying career was one that came through personal experiences. Being a former Medicaid recipient, I was thankful to those that worked in the public health sector to help those in need, including myself and my family. Through my past experiences, I felt obligated to reciprocate the resources and assistance that I had received. At the end of my career, I hope to reflect back on my career and experience a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment for having helped others throughout my career; this is what will amount to successful career, from my point of view.
The profession is dramatically expanding in science and technology to lead a better level of artistry and standard-based practice. Although, it is not in high demand, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, it should only increase by 26,000 thousand jobs from 2016 to 2026 which is about 17 percent. As long as oral health is getting linked to overall health, research will continue and service will be provided to the population as it ages.

Many people ask me why I still continue to pursue dentistry even though I have been rejected so many times. I sometimes wonder this same question myself. Maybe it's insanity, maybe it's pride, or maybe it's perseverance. It may, in fact, be a combination of all three, but for me, I believe I am pursuing my passion something I am called to do. It is one thing to pursue something you want to do, but it is another thing to pursue something you are called to do. I realized at a young age that there was more to life than just doing for self, life is about helping those around you. I have always had a passion for helping people and I knew that helping people was the calling placed on my life. But, growing up, I wasn't sure how I was going to pursue or use this passion. When I was in high school I was involved in a weightlifting accident that almost resulted in the amputation of all my fingers on my left hand, fortunately, I had great doctors that were able to save my fingers and make them fully functional. This accident could have drastically changed my life, but it didn't, and I made a vow that whatever I did in life I would make sure it involved the use of my hands.

Such experiences are crucial to learning, since it not only leads to knowledge but also perseverance.

My initial exposure to taking dentistry as a prospective career path came on a family holiday to India, where I resided with my cousin who is a self-employed practising dentist. Here I learnt the real extent to which dentistry is a career, which can truly improve the quality of people's lives. Furthermore, I witnessed the close relationships that a dentist creates with his patients, and I therefore find the combination of meeting and working with new people and diagnosis very stimulating. Dentistry is also a career which allows a great deal of scientific application along with patient care and allows me to make use of my manual skills. In addition, I believe that dentistry is an ever expanding sector which provides endless opportunities for further study and specialisation, whilst at the same time providing a secure, fulfilling and worthwhile career
My passion for dentistry arose from most of my family members who are dentists. For instance, I have seen how my uncle works, the way he socializes and builds strong relationships with his patients, and most importantly how he examines and analysis different conditions.

What fortified my desire to become a dentist were my monthly visits to the dentist who helped change the quality of my life to the better.
I chose to become a dentist as being a child I had to visit a dentist many times for correction of malaligned teeth that i had.

I feel that my love for arts, such as painting, sketching, sewing, and playing the piano will help to make me a great dentist, as these hobbies have helped to perfect my fine motor skills. Additionally, my love for the sciences led me to join a research project where I studied the teeth of mice infected with periodontal disease. I found it inspiring to be able to concentrate on an area of academia – oral health – that is of interest to me. This research project also motivated me even more to pursue dentistry in order to help treat such a common oral health ailment such as periodontal disease. Having a relationship with patients, utilizing my creativity, and providing care to others are irrefutable goals I look to achieve in my vocation. Dentistry certainly gives me the opportunity to fulfill all of
