Why I Want to Participate in the Oral and Dental Health Program

"You didn't give me a new smile; you made for me a new path in life"

Words from 26 YO Saudi female after a comprehensive treatment of her teeth, with endodontic treatment and retreatment, full ceramic crowns, veneers and other restorative treatment. Who finally passed the Job interview after many failures. Who can confidentially smile now, after she used to cover her face with "Nicap", not for a traditional reason in Saudi Arabia or religious one but as a way to hide her teeth while communicating with society.

Well it was one of the unforgettable and valuable experiences I have had, watching the transformation in a patient personality. It is a long process, and their self-esteem visibly increases with each visit. An influential moment that lead me to pursue a career in prosthodontics. A feedback like this from a patient gives me a sense of accomplishment. Make all the tired of hard-working worth it. Moreover, raising the passion of learning more, practicing better and search in this field. A field which is a humanistic challenging. A lifelong profession.
