Blog 5: How can your major make the world a better place?
Hello everyone, I am a student of dentistry at University of Chile and today I will speak about my career. This career includes different areas. Dentistry affects society in different ways for example in self - esteem because an oral disease may cause changes in the physical appearance that can affect the capacity of someone to relate with other people. I see myself as a person immersed in a social mandate that has a duty of helping people who need focusing on charity, communication, and patient autonomy. Also, as a professional who is faced with value conflicts in making a moral decision or choice. The benefit of this career on people is that it can make changes in their lives because we improve the quality of life. We can also diagnose, cure, and prevent oral diseases and control social factors and determinants of each person who goes to the dentist from an ethical perspective.
