A subject you´ve enjoyed studying this semester

 

I must admit that the subject that I liked the most was “skill development and self-care for professional practice.” This subject made my love for dentistry even more than before. I faced challenges that I never imagined especially with myself, I have improved my patience and the way I deal with frustration, helping me to improve and progress over time. "Skills" in a more abbreviated way, is in charge of showing the practical work of a Professional dentist from the first year in which the career is studied, managing to be related to the work that we will do as dentists in the future. Here I was able to know materials, such as resins, alginate and their respective preparations and also the necessary instruments for each of the procedures that are carried out with each material and then with the patients, the most important instruments in my opinion are the micromotor and the turbine.

I learned things like the restoration of a dental piece, make biological preparations in the practical ones that they did to us; I was also able to improve my ergonomics and both fine and gross motor skills. This type of subject allows us as students to have a much more direct proximity with respect to the work that we will do as dentists and also allows each of us to realize if this is really what we like and want to study.

Carrer-related website or an expert on your field

 In this career I think that a person has to be very selective with the websites because in many cases the websites has bad information or show a information poorly explained and little retailer. For this the websites that I use more are the websites that show you information based on experience, like scielo.org Scielo are acronym for Scientific Electronic Library Online. This websites has a motor of search where you can find almost all what you need know about diseases and relevant investigations about this diseases and other interesting topics related to the health ambit. I visit this website almost always when I study subjects like Anatomia, Bases Biologicas or Destrezas, most of the time I visit this website unintentionally, I only search what I need in Google and the motor show me this website and when I see that scielo has the information I know that i can keep calm because I found what I needed. This is my favourite website because here the information is very trustworthy and is a window for the new investigators that hasn´t a magazine or a institution for show it investigations.

How can your major make the world a better place

The existence of dentistry in history appeared when it wanted to relieve pain and heal oral diseases, helping people over time in all stages of their lives, recovering health, self-esteem, aesthetics and functionality in their teeth.

Every time people are more informed about their health, thanks to the internet and their social networks that help dental professionals to be closer to their patients and can give them confidence about what they do by sharing their knowledge.

My vocation was born by wanting to provide this benefit to people, to show that not only can happiness be created through a smile, but that to maintain it requires care in our oral health that is as important as maintaining the health of the rest of our body and That is why I see myself in the future being part of this beautiful work, which has evolved in technology and prevention treatments with the purpose of providing a whole life to its patients. This is how progress has been made since dentistry came to the world and will continue to do so.
