I am a single mother to 3 children 1 son who is 20 and plays baseball planning to go to Michigan State on scholarship and 2 girls ages 7 and 8 years old as well as a 1 year old grandbaby I help raise. They are what brings me joy and happiness and being with them is what I do in my spare time! I love what I do in my profession. Making patients smile makes me smile. I myself exceptionally good care of my teeth and have always been complimented on my smile and I wish I could bring those qualities to my patients at least teach them how to do the correct hygiene and take care of their teeth therapy crowns and implants and whatnot so they too can have a great smile. A great smile makes your self-esteem that much better. I went to college to be a dental hygienist and it wasn't for me as I realize I did not want to clean teeth all day. I wish I had fulfilled my dream in being an oral surgeon. I guess it's never too late...
