Eric chose dentistry since he has relatives in the dental field, including his own brother, because of which dentistry was the main topic of discussion during family gatherings. However, over the years, he realized how important having good oral hygiene could impact your overall health and enhance your confidence which solidified his career choice. He also enjoys working with his hands and couldn’t think of any other career better than dentistry, where science and art can be used to help make a difference in someone’s life.
