Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why or Why not?

  I wouldn’t want to become a Dentist, because it’s a messy job and not much interesting. I personally wouldn’t want to become a dentist, because it’s hands on with a patient and  your having contact with saliva, blood, etc. I find it messy and disgusting to be in contact with other people germs.Being a dentist is not in my interest, but i do have a relative who will soon become one. My cousin is in school and very interested in what goes down in others mouth.
