Future Dentist

When I grow up, I want to be a dentist. Working in Henderson would be an honor when I’m older. Henderson is already a great town and community. 

I want to be a dentist when I grow up. You’re probably thinking “Why do you want to be a dentist?” Here’s some reasons why. I love helping people feel confident and happy and making people feel better about themselves. For example, some people may come into the dentist’s office feeling down because their teeth aren’t in the best shape. I would help them look better over time and boost their confidence!

Next, my aunt is already a dentist, so I can fill her shoes when she gets old. Her business is Jessica H. Renaker’s, DMD PLLC. This business is not going down hill, it is getting higher and higher as we speak. She has high reviews and ratings. I know this because when I am talking to her, she says we need more dentists in Henderson. When she gets too old to take care of her clients, I will step in and help carry on the family’s business. Hopefully, I will be as amazing as she is!

Aunt Jessica (Dr. Renaker) has a therapy dog for her patients as they have their teeth cleaned. His name is Warner. He helps boost their confidence and calm their nerves as they get their teeth cleaned. Warner will sit in a patient’s lap during procedures. He is trained and therefore, highly qualified. Some people are scared of going to the dentist. Warner helps going to the dentist not so scary. Aunt Jessica is always thinking about ways to make her dental office feel better and comforting.

When I get out of college, I will come back to Henderson and work as a dentist. I live in Henderson and believe it is already a great town and community; hopefully, in the future, it will stay the same.
