The Story of Dentist Kim Kyung-ah

In closing this book

I'm a dentist too

“Professor, your teeth are really straight!”
“Professor, I can see the hidden fangs now!”
“Teacher, now my upper and lower teeth fit together well, so I can chew much better than before!”
“Teacher, my friends say I’ve become a lot prettier.
“My mouth used to be a little protruding, but now it’s much smaller, so everyone asks me if I had nose surgery.”
Looking at the full appointment book every morning can be daunting, but each word from my patients gives me renewed strength and I begin my work.

Dental care may seem limited to just one part of the body - the teeth and gums, but in fact, healthy teeth are closely related to overall health.
Just as dental health has long been considered one of the five blessings, we believe that by maintaining healthy teeth, we can improve patients' quality of life by enhancing their physical health and psychological well-being.

As we enter the age of 100, much research is being conducted to maintain the health of permanent teeth, which are developed at the age of twelve, until the age of 100.
Advances in artificial intelligence and 3D digital technology have increased the accuracy of dental diagnoses and enabled earlier diagnosis, enabling the development of personalized treatment plans to prevent disease and achieve early and successful treatment.
In particular, our country is a world leader in this field, so I strongly recommend the career of dentist to young people.
