office visit

How did you first get interested in dentistry?
My father was a management consultant, and my high
school aptitude tests and guidance counselors all said that I
should go into medicine. I knew that I didn't want to own
my own business-nobody told me that a dental practice
was a business until I was deep into it!-and I didn't want
to be on call, like physicians were. The father of one of my
classmates was a dentist, and his family always went on
vacations and had nice cars, so as a patient who'd never
had a cavity, I went in thinking, "That's a great job!" Then,
once I was in dental school, I was shocked at everything
that was actually involved.

How did you keep going?
I developed interests in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, because the most impressive member of faculty,
Dr. Henry Fields, had specialty training in both degrees.
He always had the answers to questions, or was able to find
them quickly, and I wanted to emulate him.
After I graduated from dental school, I practiced
pediatric dentistry in Durham, North Carolina, for a year
as an associate. Knowing I was interested in orthodontic
training, I did not want to build a pediatric practice. At
that point, I joined the U.S. Air Force.
I had been talking with the department chairman in
pediatric dentistry about how I didn't know where I wanted
to live, and he mentioned that a previous resident had entered
the Air Force. It sounded great-I was single, and traveling
around the world, spending two years in England and two
years in Japan. Both locations were the terminal hospitals,
so as a consultant I traveled to other bases and was referred
pediatric patients regionally; patients whom general dentists
couldn't treat. I had no "nice kids." I was in the operating
room one full day a week, doing general anesthesia for
patients, and gave fundamental refresher courses on pediatric
dentistry to other dentists. If they needed equipment, I made
recommendations to the commanding officers.
