My mom, my little brother and I went to our
dentist, because my brother was having a toothache.
When we got to the clinic, I talked to my dentist
if he could be my mentor. I explained to him that I need to finish at least 25
hours in the clinic to learn about dentistry. It was successful because he
agreed and he signed the mentor form right away. My mentor's name is Eric Wong.
He works at South San Francisco Dental Care. He let me observe when he was
checking my brother's teeth. It was fun watching him and his assistant work. I
felt like I was a dentist too. He saw that my brother has cavities that cause
toothache, and it got to the nerve. So what they did was, they drilled some part
of the tooth and they removed the nerve. They didn't remove the remove the
tooth because he said that it is going to come out for like 4 to 5 years. After
removing the nerve, they put a filling into the hole that they drilled and put
a crown on it. I had fun observing them. I was imagining myself doing their
work in the future.
