The main issue of this situation is that the patient has AIDS and the dental assistant has not been properly trained for these types of situations. In all health care practices, universal precautions is used for every patient regardless. The dental assistant was ethically wrong as by her reaction to the situation and poor professionalism was also demonstrated. The dental assistant was unaware of his conduct or the consequences of his reaction. If the dental assistant did in fact refuse to assist in this procedure, he can jeopardize his own job and also the office he is employed at could face legal issues. The dental assistant cannot refuse to partake in this procedure…

When walking around the University of Maryland, you’ll see posters plastered across walls, on the outside of buildings, on bus stops, the buses themselves, and even dumpsters reminding each of us to be fearless. At the University of Maryland, being fearless is not just a suggestion, it is an expectation. Most people just walk by these messages and don’t really understand what being fearless really means. It’s more than being bold, courageous, and brave. It’s about daring to try something new, challenging yourself to be a better you, taking risks with your ideas and plans, and to me, it mean inspiring others to pursue something that was once unimaginable to them. With this mentality, that I carried myself through my four years here. In all of the organizations I was a part of, I embraced change and innovation in my leadership positions, and most importantly, became the person I am today.…

My first patient was Jaeleen. As a dental assistant, I told her to check in. Afterwards, I called her into a room and settled her down in place. A few minutes after, I started to do some duties. I asked her questions and checked her teeth. The first thing I did was asked when was her last time she went to the dentist. Her last time was on October 12, 2012. Then I asked if she had fillings.

I brush them after I wake up and before I go to sleep. I brush my teeth for a minute and a half.” The last questions I asked were if…

White Teeth, the novel written by Zadie Smith, has a very peculiar name and the imagery of teeth is brought up many times throughout the novel. I believe that this reoccurring symbolism of teeth are so prominent because teeth are white no matter what a person’s race is; Teeth are something that everyone shares in common despite all our various backgrounds, beliefs, and complexions. Everyone is born with teeth, but how they end up, whether they are cracked, or full of cavities, or completely healthy have to do with your own actions and choices in your life. Smith addresses this notion further by indirectly making a statement that it’s not our race or nationality that defines our identity, but rather our identity…
