Spread the Smile Campaign

Spread the Smile Campaign

Whenever a dental school interviewer asks me what specialty I want to pursue, my default answer is "I don't know yet". As a pre-dental student who hasn't had exposure to a majority of the dental specialties yet, I don't want to make a rash and uneducated decision. But in the past few years, my experiences have made me heavily lean towards pediatric dentistry. Even though I have never shadowed a pediatric dentist and have no idea what the specialty entails, I LOVE being around kids. Kids are different than adults. They are simple, vivacious, and easy to please - traits that are generally missing in the adult population. They have magical way of unintentionally brightening your day!

These are pictures from our Spread the Smile campaign last Friday at Vermont Avenue Elementary School, featuring our special guests: Bob (the dinosaur) and Banana Split (the monkey).
