Q&A with Nanci Hynes
Nanci Hynes
Dental Assistant Instructor, Medix College
Why might someone consider a career in dentistry?
Dentistry is never going anywhere. You don’t have to worry about job security. Cavities are plaguing the earth forever. It’s a very secure job but you’re also helping people. You’re helping with their physical looks and their perception of themselves. If you don’t have a nice smile, you shy away from the world. In dentistry, you’re changing people’s lives.
What can someone pursuing a career in dentistry expect?
For someone who likes to be busy, dental offices are great. You need to be organized. It’s fast-paced. There’s never a moment where you look at the clock and think, “There are still four more hours left.” But it’s also a very team-oriented profession and incredibly rewarding.
