Concourse Dental Reflection
Concourse Dental is a small private dental office where both the dentist and the dental hygienist work closely with the patient to practice preventive dentistry through patient education. I observed how if the patient is diagnosed with a oral health disorder, the dentist and dental hygienist would talk with the patient after receiving treatment. This opportunity taught me that one on one counseling with the patient can change the patient's lifestyle that contributed to the oral health disorder. Ultimately, this dental office imparted me the importance of delivering dental education to

    MEND Poverty Clinic Analysis

    At MEND Poverty Clinic, I was surprised by how many patients do not realize that their bad habits can cause a permanent condition like periodontal disease. Lack of awareness of oral health has affected the health of my people in this community. After treating many unfortunate patients, such as a seventeen-year-old patient that needed extractions and only had few teeth left, an implant program was implemented which I am in charge with Dr. Robert Hale in order to improve the life of many…

    America's Toothfairy Analysis

    SDAB represents the UMD Chapter for the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation’s (NCOHF) Students United for America’s Toothfairy program. Through this organization, I visit elementary and middle schools in the College Park and Washington D.C. area and teach young children the proper way to brush their teeth and how important oral hygiene is to their health. Just recently, I organized a drive to collect dental supplies for the Boys and Girls Club of PG County as part of the NCOHF’s Smile Drive campaign. As a leader of this organization, I’ve served as a mentor to other pre-dental students and created innovative projects and initiatives to foster participation in activities. Just this year alone, my co-president and I increased the member count from 15 to over…

    The Glass Castle Reflection

    “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls is an extremely intriguing novel that really kept my attention throughout the whole story. The Walls family is definitely one that is unlike any I’ve ever come across, and the lessons that the children learned were ones that helped shaped their lives and made them who they are today. Jeanette obviously learned so much from her experience that she wrote a whole book about it, managing to hold the reader’s attention through all 281 pages. Jeanette Walls goes through many descriptions of situations that she faced that people normally should not face. For most of her childhood, she was traveling from place to place because her parents always thought that they would hit it big and never finding a steady job.…

    Dental Hygienist Beliefs

    Exceptional dental hygiene care practice can assure that my patients are able to preserve their smile for their lifetime. This is a commitment that involves both the health care provider and the patient. As the dental hygienist, my personal commitment should be to strive for excellent patient care and commitment to continuing education which allows professionals to expand their foundations of knowledge and stay au courant on new developments in this rapidly changing field. My first job was at the age of 18 where I worked part-time as a dental assistant while attending college. At that time, I had recently moved to this country from Brazil and my academic and career objectives were very unsettled.…

    The Glass Castle Reflection

    Last week in class we read the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. The book showed what's it’s like to overcome adversity at anytime even when times are bad Jeannette Walls overcame her father's alcoholism and her mother's psychoness. The family was also going through a financial crisis so with the weight of everything on her she had to get over so much for her to be able to succeed in her later life.

    How To Write A Pediatric Dentist

    Other kinds of help are available, too. Dr. David Tesini, a dentist in Sudbury, Mass., recently released a new DVD of his D-termined program that teaches professionals how to familiarize an uncooperative child with a dental cleaning. The first DVD has long been used in some pediatric dental practices — including Dr. Luedemann-Lazar’s. Dr. Tesini said he developed the program, in part, because “very often, parents believe that their child is not ready to go to the dentist and has behavioral problems that the dental team won’t be able to manage.”…
