Zachary signed please, juice, and thank you in “his own way.” The use of unaided AAC could be improved by providing him with more time in between his requests and the food item awarded (while Zachary was eating the adult verbally prompted him to say a target word). The amount of cues that the adult provided could also decrease to allow the child to spontaneously request items. Furthermore, when Zachary signed for juice, the…

In the articles “The Totally Gruesome, Totally Fascinating History of teeth” and “Where are all the Dentists?” both by Kristin lewis, it talks about how there are lots of challenges that people faced with dentistry over time. There are lots of small problems, but there are also lots of big problems, one that it talks about in the article is that back in the day, before we had good dental work, people would get there teeth pulled without anesthetics. In the article it says ”Tough cowboys of the American West would weep openly as their diseased teeth were yanked out with pliers--often with little more than a few gulps of whiskey to dull the searing pain,” (Lewis 14). This shows that people back in the day were willing to get there teeth pulled and go through the pain so they don't get an infection.…
The main issue of this situation is that the patient has AIDS and the dental assistant has not been properly trained for these types of situations. In all health care practices, universal precautions is used for every patient regardless. The dental assistant was ethically wrong as by her reaction to the situation and poor professionalism was also demonstrated. The dental assistant was unaware of his conduct or the consequences of his reaction. If the dental assistant did in fact refuse to assist in this procedure, he can jeopardize his own job and also the office he is employed at could face legal issues. The dental assistant cannot refuse to partake in this procedure…

When walking around the University of Maryland, you’ll see posters plastered across walls, on the outside of buildings, on bus stops, the buses themselves, and even dumpsters reminding each of us to be fearless. At the University of Maryland, being fearless is not just a suggestion, it is an expectation. Most people just walk by these messages and don’t really understand what being fearless really means. It’s more than being bold, courageous, and brave. It’s about daring to try something new, challenging yourself to be a better you, taking risks with your ideas and plans, and to me, it mean inspiring others to pursue something that was once unimaginable to them. With this mentality, that I carried myself through my four years here. In all of the organizations I was a part of, I embraced change and innovation in my leadership positions, and most importantly, became the person I am today.…

When I was about 5-years-old, I was the only child in my class that was not frightened of the dentist. In fact, I absolutely loved going to the dentist; I thought it was more desirable than going to the Science Center, which was a colossal deal for a child in my generation. Growing up, I watched people’s faces twitch with discomfort and a little bit of disgust as I explained that it was my ultimate dream to become a dental hygienist. “What if a child bites you?” “The human mouth is disgusting!”…
I have never been able to answer that one question everyone gets asked while in school, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” The answer came to me in an unexpected encounter with a Dental Service business owner named Paul, who is interested in selling his company.

I chose a college because of the encounter with business owner with a business proposition, the knowledge to understand this field for owning a Dental Service business, and the credentials this degree will bring me in the future.…

White Teeth, the novel written by Zadie Smith, has a very peculiar name and the imagery of teeth is brought up many times throughout the novel. I believe that this reoccurring symbolism of teeth are so prominent because teeth are white no matter what a person’s race is; Teeth are something that everyone shares in common despite all our various backgrounds, beliefs, and complexions. Everyone is born with teeth, but how they end up, whether they are cracked, or full of cavities, or completely healthy have to do with your own actions and choices in your life. Smith addresses this notion further by indirectly making a statement that it’s not our race or nationality that defines our identity, but rather our identity…
