Why did you become a dentist?
I decided to become a dentist because of my cousin. When I first graduated from high school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. A few careers crossed my mind, but they did not feel right. My cousin told me to go to work with her and meet the dentist she worked for. After meeting the doctor and the staff, I saw something amazing, something more than just a group of people working. I saw a family, and this family was not just caring for themselves but also caring for others. I wanted to be a part of something amazing as well, so I pursued a career in dentistry.
Who is Dr. Vuong Nguyen?
When I was younger, I was a loner and shy. I had a lot of dental work due to the lack of brushing and lots of sweets from my dad. I grew up feeling that I was not good enough. However, one middle school teacher changed that for me. She told me she was proud of me and that I should not feel so bad as long as I kept trying my best. From then on, my faith grew, and I stopped beating myself down. I worked hard in everything I did and even in subjects that I was poor in. My determination and work ethic has led me to where I am today. I aspire to continue to be a better me and more “real” me. I want to be real with God, myself and others.
