Dental Hygiene School Application

br Dental Hygiene School Application

I have lived in a community where dental health care is necessary but not affordable to most of the people living in the vicinity . It is truly unfortunate that the closest most of the people residing within my area have to rely on dental missions in to get the proper oral care that they need . Having worked in the dental field for the past 10 years I have done what little I can to help my community and "give back " the love and care that the residents have

shown me . It is not an easy task for me but I do my best whenever and however I can manage to do so

Constant exposure to the dental field helped fuel my desire to learn more about the various aspects of dentistry .

The way I handle the patients on a personal level can spell the difference between successfully treating them and having them leave the clinic untreated . I always get a wonderful sense of accomplishment each time I successfully educate a child regarding the manners and importance of dental hygiene . This is why I fully intend to continue my volunteer work even after I have completed my degree Without people like me who work for free in the volunteer program just because I have the heart to do it , these children may not have a chance to get the necessary dental hygiene education and treatment they so badly need

Over the next five years , I fully expect to gain my dental hygiene license and continue to educate myself with regards to the updated trends and techniques via continued education courses .
