Chompers!

Okay, so the other day in my dental class, I discovered something new about myself. I seriously have a deep interest and fasination with teeth. I knew as soon as I pulled out those x-rays from being processed and held them up to the light, that this is something I love! I never would have pegged myself a dental person personally because first off, I Hate: Needles, blood, spit, germs, etc etc. But my heart has always pulled me to the medical area some way or another. Now that I have decided to give this a shot, Im loving it.

I think that once we face our fears in a sense, we can truelly overcome them or learn how strong we really are. Now days, you should see me when I have to have blood drawn. I dont cry anymore :) thats a big step for me. Oh and I had to pull glass out of a childs foot the other day; and loved the fact that I could help him, but it also fascinated me the way the glass came out. Call me crazy! I actually think I am stronger than I give myself credit for. Yay! Now im not saying you will see me in an operatory anytime soon. But ya never know.

Atleast I know that I am able and that if I could anyway make a kids dental experience less scary than my childhood dental experiences, than Im doing pretty ok!
