Hiii, I've been a dental assistant for over 2 years now ! Working in the dental field was never something I expected to find myself in but I learned quickly it was something I really enjoyed doing. It has inspired me to go back to school to advance in the field. I'm currently attending community college at TCC working to get my associates degree. I've lived in Texas my whole life but I am hoping dental school will take me somewhere else on day !
