My Dream Career: Dental Hygienist
Dentistry plays a central role in transforming an individual’s smile as harm to teeth can have a detrimental effect on an individual’s appearance and self -confidence. Being part of a team that helps individuals look after their teeth and being part of the journey to see their confidence flourish is something that I aim to do in this profession.My Dream Career: Dental Hygienist
My initial interest to become a dental hygienist and therapist grew stronger during my work placement which provided me with close-up experience of the profession and where I saw the constructive impact of oral health to an individual. Having observed many dental hygienists and therapist I noticed how fulfilling and impactful the career is which is something I am determined to do.
Due to my interest in dental hygiene and therapy, I specifically choose to study Biology, Chemistry, and Sociology at A-level because it was a broad subject combination providing a good basis for this degree through the varied range of skills, I will attain by studying these subjects.
Sociology has helped in developing my methodical skills as well as a cross-cultural understanding; whereas biology and chemistry have assisted in improving my written communication, patience, motivational and listening skills. These skills are vital for this field because you need to be able to effectively interact and work closely with others for a more efficient and accurate diagnosis.
