Are you interested in healthcare? Do you enjoy helping others and putting smiles on people’s faces? You just might be the perfect fit for becoming a dentist. From delivering life-changing services to learning about the type of impact you can make as a dentist, the dental field is a great place to explore your passion.
Why A Career in Dentistry Matters
The dental field is all about improving lives. Your teeth are an important gateway to the rest of your overall health. When your teeth are healthy and happy, the rest of your body can be too. Taking care of your oral health not only improves the appearance and health of your smile, it improves the quality of your life. By choosing a dental career, you’re choosing to make a positive difference in other’s life experiences, one smile at a time.
Dr. Brown’s Career Journey
Dr. Deborah Brown’s story (on pg. 22-23 of the West Michigan District Dental Society Bulletin) of becoming a dentist was anything but conventional and predictable. After choosing to enlist in the US Army and making it through boot camp, Dr. Brown served long years and returned home. Jumping from job to job, Dr. Brown was determined to understand where her passion lay. Following an invite to shadow her family dentist, Dr. Brown knew she had found her passion for making a difference for patients of all walks of life.
