Why Did You Become a Dentist?

Dr. Nicole grew up surrounded by orthodontics. Her parents started an orthodontic adhesive company, and her uncle was an orthodontist, and this helped spark her interest in the field. She was fascinated not only by its ability to move the teeth and impact someone’s function, but she also liked the genuine appreciation her uncle received from his patients. When she wasn’t working for the family business, she wanted to shadow in her uncle’s dental office. This passion eventually led her to pursue her orthodontic degree, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Where Did You Study Dentistry?
