reflection: i do not think that i would like to be a periodontist. i would not want to be one because i would not want to work in somebody else's mouth. i think that i would be really disgusted and that i wouldn't want to do it. i also wouldn't want to look that deep into someone's mouth i think its nasty.  although the amount of school isn't that bad its only 7 years compared to other professions where they require more than 10. i dont think its somewhere id be comfortable working or something id be comfortable doing. it also just isn't an interest of mine.
