Coming from a family who only went to the dentist when they were in severe pain, I opted to inform myself on what it meant to take care of your oral health. As a Mexican-American seeing that the Mexican community lacks the most in oral health care, I want to become part of a change. Growing up, I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works; there was no doubt that I wanted to pursue a healthcare career. Throughout the dental hygiene program at City Tech, I learned how our oral cavity impacts our systemic health. I grew eager to teach others not to underestimate their dental health.
