Dr Conlan Bio V1

00:00:04.917 --> 00:00:07.375 My name is Dr. Garrett Conlan, 00:00:07.542 --> 00:00:10.625 and I'm the newest dentist here at Central Texas Dental Care. 00:00:10.708 --> 00:00:12.833 I've been here for just under one year. 00:00:12.917 --> 00:00:15.833 Grew up having a great experience going to the dental office, 00:00:15.917 --> 00:00:18.542 and the orthodontist was a great experience for me as well. 00:00:18.643 --> 00:00:21.113 Had some fillings and wisdom teeth taken out, 00:00:21.208 --> 00:00:22.375 and braces as a kid. 00:00:22.458 --> 00:00:24.400 I was one of the kids that enjoyed going to the dental office. 00:00:24.483 --> 00:00:27.583 Just as I grew up and matured 00:00:27.667 --> 00:00:31.292 and realized that I wanted to be in a profession to help people. 00:00:31.375 --> 00:00:33.357 I knew I enjoyed working with my hands. 00:00:33.583 --> 00:00:36.208 It's a pretty common thing that dentists enjoy doing. 00:00:36.292 --> 00:00:39.042 Those two things married together. 00:00:39.958 --> 00:00:42.640 I like the sciences. All those things combined together. 00:00:42.723 --> 00:00:45.333 I fell into dentistry, and once I got to college, 00:00:45.416 --> 00:00:47.083 started shadowing dental offices 00:00:47.167 --> 00:00:51.500 and saw what an immense impact dentistry can have in patients' lives, 00:00:51.583 --> 00:00:54.833 and saw some pretty life-changing procedures done, 00:00:54.917 --> 00:00:57.875 and that really inspired me to continue to pursue a career in dentistry. 00:00:57.963 --> 00:01:00.958 Here we are almost a year in, and I've been loving it.
