Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
As far as she can remember, Dr. Andrews has always had a deep interest in dentistry and becoming a dentist. In the beginning, she was typically fearful of visiting the dentist during childhood, until she met an amazing pediatric dentist. One of his fun tricks was to attach a mirror to his overhead light that would allow her to watch everything he was doing to her teeth. Since then, she has been fascinated with dental care, and she hasn’t looked back since.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
To begin her adventure, Dr. Andrews first attended Rutgers University–New Brunswick before studying at New York University College of Dentistry for her dental doctorate. During her education, she took a particular interest in implant dentistry, deciding to take a yearlong MaxiCourse at Rutgers Dental School and traveling to Colombia with the New York Implant Institute for live implant training.
Other than dental implants, she has extensive training in BOTOX and dermal fillers for facial esthetics. She’s also a proud and active member of professional organizations like the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and regularly pursues continuing education to remain on top of the latest advances in the field.
