Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

• During his third year in college, Dr. Jung decided to pursue a career as a dentist while he was shadowing various kinds of doctors. He witnessed how dentists were able to build much stronger relationships with their patients at a level he didn’t expect. Not only did he have a desire to become a trusted healthcare provider, but he also wanted the opportunity to strengthen interpersonal connections. In the end, dentistry was the clear choice, and he’s never looked back since!
