Identify the goals of the project ~
The goal of my project is to find a way to reduce dental anxiety, either through environment, equipment, or change in the dentists themselves; however, I'm still uncertain as to what I am physically going to do.
Why is it important and why should we care ~
It is important that everyone has an equal chance at feeling safe and comfortable in a dental environment due to the fact that it oral health is very important, especially since it ties into the health of your heart.
How do these goals fit your career objectives ~
If I figure out how to reduce dental anxiety now, it will help when I become a dentist in the future. This is very important to me as I would like to be a pediatric dentist.
How does the project give back to society ~
Reducing anxiety means that you'd be reducing the stress and strain the dentist puts on some people. Being able to change people's outlooks on dentists in a positive way benefits the patient as well as the actual dentist in the sense that both are more at ease and comfortable with the current situation.
