I enjoyed every minute of this site I had music playing and the patients seemed to just keep coming one after another. I saw several kids today which was exciting because one of the little girls I seen today was extremely scared of the dentist and dental staff and I was able to change her opinion of us and it was the best feeling knowing that I changed that little girls life and that she no longer feared the dental office. I also taught her how to multiply since she told me her favorite subject in school was math.<\/p>\n<p>Overall today has been my favorite so far I can\u2019t wait to see what the rest or the days will bring.
