Monday night Tindall Orthodontics was full of students from Medical Explorers who were ready to learn more about what dentists do and what their equipment does.

Dr. Mark Tindall studied to become an orthodontist for 11 years and received several awards for dental training and other dental related activities.

“Dentistry offers a great profession and career and it gives you the ability to balance family, maybe kids and stuff down the road where [you] can have this career and work 3-4 days a week,” Tindall said.

Most of the students in medical explorers already have plans to continue their studies in the medical field. Junior Isabel Dritz plans on continuing her studies in the genetics field.

“That’s a hot topic, it has been for awhile,” Tindall said. “You have to take a lot of genetics in college to get in to [dentistry] school.

The opportunity to meet Dr. Tindall and tour his office gave the medical explorers the chance to get an insight on what orthodontists do on a daily basis and see one of the many jobs offered in the medical field.
