Personal Narrative: My Interest In The Dental Field
My interest in the dental field began when I was very young. I remember when my grandparents used to take me to the toy shop and I used to pick out dental toys instead of typical ones such as Barbie’s, dolls, or kitchen appliances. I would get so excited to get home and pretend to clean my brothers’ teeth. After a few years of such behavior, it was evident to myself and those around me that I had an unexplainable attraction to this profession. It got to a point where I began to fake tooth aches just so that my parents would take me to the dental clinic; being in a dental chair made me that happy. Fast forward to middle school on Career Day where students were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Most students hesitated while

    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 remember clearly as a young boy, going to my father’s work, to visit for a routine checkup and people asking me, “are you gonna clean teeth like your daddy?” I would look at them with the utmost confusion, as to why I would want to put my fingers in another person’s mouth. All my life I had been raised around the dental field with my dad asking me every morning and every night if I brushed my teeth and flossed, or standing right behind me watching the brushing strokes to make sure I wasn’t cutting the cleaning short. As a kid I did as I was told but it was never my dream to be a dentist, dental hygienist, or be involved in the dental field in any way. When I was in eighth grade, I fell in love with history and archaeology, and my dad as one…

    I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

    When I was in secondary school, my dad was diagnosed with oral cancer. It was a tough time for our family, but we were not alone. The oral surgeons were always by our side, consistently providing hope and reassurance throughout the treatment when we needed it the most.
