Yankin' Teeth

A tooth I removed for a precious man yesterday. Great reminder of why I am in this profession. 


I have been a part of a team of students, faculty, and social workers that have been working on opening a dental clinic that provides free care to those with disabilities and children under the age of 5. Yesterday was a monumental day. That clinic seen its first patents and it was a huge success. My college does a wonderful job at putting emphasis on the importance of giving back to your community, they don't just preach it… they lead by example. Proud Day. 


Happy Sunday!

    Hi, there! My name is Tamara. I've been thinking very seriously about going to school to be a dental hygienist and I wish desperately to hear about it from someone who knows.. I don't know much about any of this! So I'd greatly appreciate any information you have for a completely clueless bum. Haha

    Hi Tambalam,

    I wish I knew more about dental hygiene school. I can tell you a lot about dental school though! Glad you checked out my blog :)

    Best of luck!

    Great blog, great post! My sister works for a dentist in Winnipeg, and it's great to get another perspective on what she does all day. It's nice to know that dental and medical schools emphasize the importance of giving back.
