My mother is a dentist. She treats many diseases that occur in the oral cavities.
My aunt and uncle were dentists. They're retired now. She must be very smart - that's a difficult profession!
Yes, but she doesn't do it by herself. She has a great supporting team behind her.
That's always good. My dentist has a great team supporting him, too. They're so professional, but at the same time caring. How long has your mother been a dentist?
She became a licensed professional 10 years ago. That's when she registered with the dental association.
Is the dental association the same as the Medical association for doctors?
I don't think so, but it was founded in Niagara Falls, New York.
That's interesting. What sort of training does a dentist have to go through?
All kinds of training that helps them specialize in the prevention and treatment of many oral diseases.
