During my dental school interview Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine I was asked two pivotal questions: “Tell me about yourself” and “What defines you?” My answer was a reflection of my core values. Perseverance: This is the foundation of my journey. Without it, I would never have taken the first step towards my aspirations. It’s perseverance that fuels my courage to embark on new paths and embrace challenges, particularly in the demanding and intricate world of dentistry. Consistency: This is the key to my persistence. It ensures not just the initiation but the successful completion of my endeavors. Consistency is what keeps me anchored, maintaining steady progress and unwavering dedication, even in the face of obstacles. Together, these traits define not just my approach to my dental career but also my approach to life: a blend of steadfast determination and reliable effort, driving me towards excellence. Remember, your journey is unique, and embracing your strengths while being aware of areas for growth will help you thrive in 2024 and beyond. Best of luck in your endeavors!

Fast forward to 1840, when the first dental school in the world was established in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, marking a significant milestone in dental education. And who could forget 1895, the year Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays, revolutionizing dentistry by allowing dentists to visualize the structure of teeth and jawbones?
