Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Addy actually grew up as the son of a dentist, and he loved science from a young age. He always wanted to be able to use science in some way to help others. While in college, he would regularly volunteer at a dental clinic that served populations who could not help themselves, and this tremendously rewarding experience inspired him to enter into the profession. All these years later, he’s still completely confident that he made the right choice!
