Update your Personal Philosophy Goals
My purpose in pursuing a
career in dentistry, specifically as a dental hygienist, is to make a positive
impact on people’s oral and overall health. Oral hygiene is a critical, often
underestimated aspect of overall wellness. By educating, treating, and
supporting patients, I hope to empower individuals to maintain healthy smiles,
improve their confidence, and reduce their risk of systemic health issues
linked to poor oral health. Dentistry allows me to combine my passion for
healthcare, problem-solving, and meaningful patient interactions into a
fulfilling career. I will learn from my mistakes to achieve my goal at the end
of the tunnel. I faced a lot of challenges in my life, but all the time, I
talked to myself, I can do it; I can become a good hygienist in the future, and
this is my dream for the next five years. I see myself working as a licensed
dental hygienist in a dental clinic, and I will focus on treating patients. I
aim to have a strong team to serve our community and engage outreach in
programs to extend dental care to underserved populations and promote
preventive oral hygiene education. My aim is to continually expand my knowledge
and skills through continuing education and certifications in areas, such as
periodontal therapy, advanced radiography techniques, and pediatric care.
I also plan to encourage myself and refine my skills to ensure
effective communication with diverse patient populations.
My long-term aspiration in dental hygiene is to promote preventive
care and education. I aim to integrate the latest dental technologies and
evidence-based practices into patient care, especially with special needs like
autism. I want to share my experience and encourage a culture of learning and
development at work by acting as an advisor for aspiring dental professionals.
Pursuing a career in dental hygiene is not just a profession; it’s
a meaningful way to contribute to the health and confidence of my community. I
am dedicated to becoming a trusted and impactful dental hygienist, now and in
the future.
