Why Dr. Newman Chose Dentistry
When Dr. Christopher Newman was 10 years old, he fell and broke his front two teeth. He feared that he would have to go the rest of his life with broken front teeth. His dentist was able to repair these teeth with the advances in cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Newman was amazed that his dentist was able to repair these teeth like new. He thought that dentistry was a wonderful profession and loved the idea that he could help people get their smiles back. It was then he decided to pursue dentistry.
