Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
As far as he can tell, Dr. Habib has wanted to become a dentist ever since he was in elementary school. He remembers being one of the few kids who enjoyed visiting the dentist, and he loved getting gifts for being a great patient. Growing up, he also enjoyed building computers, as fixing random things felt second nature to him. Working with his hands was always something he enjoyed, and when he discovered how hands-on dentistry would be, he was all in. While he was already well into his college career, he decided to apply to over 30 dental schools to ensure that he would one day bring his positive, no worries, beach-kid personality to the world of dentistry. Today, he gets to do just that!
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Habib attended Long Island University before going to Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry to attain his dental doctorate. Over the years, he’s undergone countless hours of extensive training in various topics, such as operative dentistry for same-day crowns, molar root canals, implant-based restorations, oral implantology and implant placement, Invisalign, and TMJ treatment using Botox. On top of regularly seeking continuing education to expand his dental expertise, he is also a member of several professional organizations, including:
- American Dental Association
- New Jersey Dental Association
- Academy of General Dentistry (AGD)
- American Academy of Facial Esthetics
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
