Excited great-grandfather Being an Orthodontist is, in my opinion the greatest occupation I can imagine. I don't use the word job because although it is a responsibility, it's also a pleasure, and to be honest, a lot of fun. Becoming involved in kids' lives and seeing them grow and mature involves tremendous gratification. Changing someone's appearance for the better and seeing his or her self-esteem increase is a true delight. Nelson Hersh DDS, MS Licensed Specialist In my office, we all try to go that extra mile, and not only make kids feel comfortable with the environment we have created, but work constantly in boosting their self worth and esteem. We want them to grow both physically and emotionally. It is an opportunity to influence others positively and make our community a better place. It is a fiirther responsibility to become involved in the community. I live in the area and have become involved with the local school districts. Education, being so important in our lives, I have decided to volunteer my time and finances to improve local education, both public and private. Showing kids how science is utilized outside the office by giving science presentations, career day presentations, and depending upon the age level, oral hygiene classes. Community responsibilities don't end with schools, but go beyond, in becoming involved with baseball leagues, other sports, school teams of varying types, extra curricular activities, gymnastic gyms, dance studios, etc. Being involved with kids, you should serve as an example and help make a difference. Orthodontics is a great career choice and we have allowed adolescents to "job shadow" and see how truly rewarding a career in orthodontics can be.
