The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has announced that they will use their charity funds to repair the teeth of domestic violence victims. This charity in many cases is crucial in complete recovery for these victims. Without the ability to do something as simple as smile, victims could potentially become stuck in depression and pain from their bad memories. This donation refers back to my ethics post. As a field, dentists are well respected in society, giving, and nice individuals. By using their skill sets to help those in need, dentists are only boosting their reputation as outstanding citizens. Its just another reason that I hope I can become one someday.
