My Future Job

Talking about my future job, I would like to work with kids, I like Pediatric Dentistry, why this? Because I think the future of oral health is in them, because dentists can resolve oral problems all days, all life, but is it better if we anticipate it? If we teach kids about oral health, they will be better in future like the current adults.

I’m studying dentistry and I would love to work with kids. 

I had a really bad experience with a kid with cavities: when I was a kid I went to school on school bus and I always sat aside of a kid that had a lot of cavities, and his breath was horrible, he was 6 years old when I met him. Another experience I had with my cousin, was he had so many cavities too, he started to have them at the age of 4. Imagine that! How can a little kid have a mouth like that! Something is wrong and it is, first the education, and second the cost of a dentistry consultation.

Another reason is related to the fear that kids have to “the dentist”, sometimes this is just for the fear that people or even their parents give them to dentists, sometimes they say “if you don’t do this I will take you to the dentist”, like it was the worst place in world,  and the dentists have to take that fear away, show them that it is not like their parents or people say, and obviously it is something difficult, because dentists work in their mouth and do things that are not pleasant to people, and imagine the kids that are scared of needles!

So, there are a lot of reasons to work with kids.
