This summer I interned at Shenandoah Smiles Pediatric Dentistry. I learned much about children’s teeth as well as adult teeth. I received training to become a dental assistant through this internship. I learned how to properly clean dental instruments and learned how to use the Dentrix system. I learned how to speak to patients and their parents in an effective and proper manner. Dr. Gibson helped me understand the importance of preventative dentistry and the best ways to go about restorative measures. Through these experiences, I have realized how much I aspire to become a dentist. I feel it is a career I can do well in as well as help others have great dental health and understand the importance of dental health.
