Am I FINALLY Going to Dental School to Become a DENTIST!?

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

Wondering why I didn’t become a dentist? In this video, I’m sharing the real story — from preschool dreams of dentistry to discovering my true calling in dental hygiene. I’ll explain why prevention lit a spark in me, how I went from biology major to registered dental hygienist, and why I chose grad school without the dental school path. If you’ve ever felt pressure to follow a plan that doesn’t feel right anymore — this one’s for you. Let’s talk about choosing the path that aligns with your passion.
