Presentation Transcript
Dr. Michelle Anderson Sprout Kids Dentistry Text Talk Week 6, Day 2
Slide 1 This is Doctor Michelle Anderson. She is a pediatric dentist a dentist for children.
Slide 2 I help children understand why it's important to take care of their teeth, and how to fix their teeth if their teeth are unhealthy. I also help parents understand the importance of taking care of their children's teeth. (Interview Question 2)
Slide 3 All the pediatric dentists I could find in my community were men and not women. I was motivated to be a pediatric dentist because I wanted to prove that a woman could be a pediatric dentist, too. (Interview Question 4)
Slide 4 In college, I studied biology. Then I went to dental school at Tufts University. I studied dentistry for four years. All that studying allowed me to fix grown-up teeth. I wanted to have a job fixing children's teeth, so I had to stay in dental school for two more years to learn exactly how to work in a child's mouth. (Interview Question 5)
Slide 5 At her dentist office, Dr. Anderson has decorations on the wall and TVs on the ceiling.
Slide 6 Dentistry is a really fun career. Working with kids is also really fun. Little girls don't need to think about dentistry as a job that only boys can do it can be a career for girls, too. It doesn't matter what color you are either. If you want to be a dentist, you can be one, just like me. You should stay in school and study hard, and you can grow up to be anything you want to be. (Interview Question 9)
