That feeling when you finish a semester and you don’t know how you got here... 😬

Honestly it’s kind of a blur, but there were fun moments and lots of new things learned. We got to play around with wax and denture teeth, and learned new terms like lingualized occlusion, border molding and fl**ge 😂 I swear dentistry has its own language.

For now... I’ll be taking full advantage of the break ahead to recharge, replenish, and rejuvenate. I’m looking forward to sharing some other memories from this semester soon.

It’s been a tough one guys, but I survived. Cheers to 5/11 of a DDS 🥂

Last practical for the Fixed Partial Denture Course ✅

#9 - Full Ceramic Crown
#3 - PFM
#5 - Full Cast Crown

Did I under reduced? Absolutely
Did I have a good path of draw? Not a chance

FPD’s have been a humbling experience... somehow it seems the more I practice the worse I feel I perform. 🥲 Hoping for better days.

CITA I’m coming for you next 😌

It is finally spring and the flowers are blooming in NC 🌸

Hola a todos and happy Wednesday- there’s quite a few new faces around so I think I’m overdue for a reintroduction of sorts. 😬

First things first, thank you for following along in my journey through dental school. I hope you find value in the things about my life I share, and that there’s some inspiration to take away for someone somewhere.

If you are still reading, here is a little more about me and why I do this. I was born and raised in La Habana, Cuba. At the age of fourteen my family migrated to Miami as political refugees. We came with no more than a dream, hope, our language, our culture, our experiences, and the clothes we had on.

At my core I am Cuban, Latina, a child immigrant, a daughter, a sister... These past few years have made me realize that I am also a giver, compassionate, driven, an advocate for my people, resilient as hell, and a woman with a vision. Moving to North Carolina made me realize how much I had overcome. It felt like I had gotten to this point in my life seamlessly, because the years tend to blur things together. Living in this new environment opened my eyes to how many struggles minority students trying to make it in this education system face, especially those pursuing doctoral programs. It also made it even more clear why we need more of us in these spaces, especially in health care.

I do this because I want to share my struggles, to share the things I’ve learned and connect with others who are passionate about oral health as well as overcoming disparities in minority communities.

Thank you for taking part in this journey of mine. Please interact with me if you have questions or comments. I’d love to chat and get to know you better!

Today, February 3rd, I celebrate 10 years of having left my island. A celebration of opportunity and freedom, but also a recognition of a deep wound filled with abandonment, impotence and shame.
My biggest wish is to see my country and my people free from the shackles of tyranny so they can enjoy freedom and prosperity within my lifetime.

Mi vieja Habana, mi ciudad mágica y divina... es hora ya de sacar tus raíces mambisas a la luz del sol que el día de la victoria ya viene llegando!

Today in removable prosth lab we made custom trays! I was pleasantly surprised with how satisfying the whole process was, especially molding the triad. 💁‍♀️

I have to say it’s a blast to work with our amazing course director Dr. Clark and I can’t wait to learn more about digital dentistry and how to apply it to the denture making world. If you’ll be attending the District 4 ASDA this weekend you might have the pleasure of listening to her presentation.

It’s only been my second week back to school and we are moving full steam ahead! We have ramped up our preclinical activities, which makes me feel more confident I’ll have enough time to practice and perfect my skills. A master rotation schedule has been created for us to gain some of the lost time and acquire some hands on experience as we start to make the transition into our clinical education.

Outside of my academic responsibilities I enjoy staying involved with the community. It’s an opportunity for me to stay connected with other students, faculty, and with the patients that I will one day be treating. This Wednesday I spent my evening at the SHAC clinic. I got home at 11pm after a full day of lab and zoom lectures. This is what my Wednesdays will consist of this semester, it’s a daunting thought. 🥴
Yesterday I spent twelve hours at the Vidas de Esperanza clinic. It’s hard to complain about how much your feet hurt after standing the whole day, or about the lack of time you had to eat or even drink a sip of water when you have patients that don’t even know how to read and write, that have lost their jobs due to the pandemic and cannot feed their children or themselves, or that can’t afford to not be in pain.

After this week, even though I’m tired, I feel full. I woke up this Sunday feeling so incredibly privileged for the opportunities I’ve had, and for the opportunities I have now to make a difference.

Tell me something you experienced this week that has made you feel empowered, thankful or privileged! 😊

✨𝐼 𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑-19 𝑉𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 ✨

Today I have a big reason to celebrate, to be thankful, to feel hopeful. For a long time the end did not seem to be anywhere on site... but today I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, along with thousands of others across the nation.

I got vaccinated because:
•I believe in and trust the scientific process.
•I love and value my life and that of my family and friends.
•I want to keep my future patients, my colleagues, and the general public safe.
•I want to stop the spread of COVID-19.
•I want to go back to a new state of normalcy.

I hope if you had the chance to receive this vaccine you took it... and if you haven’t, that you will once the time comes. I feel incredibly privileged to have received it, and so very grateful for those working in the frontlines. It takes a village to make this happen, let’s all do our part.

Have you taken the vaccine? Share your reason down in the comments ⬇️

A few hours away from saying I survived 2020! 🥳🎊🥂

This year was... well you know. However, there are things about this year that I’m absolutely thankful for. Here are some memories that make me smile. There were few good moments but the ones I had were truly great 😝

I don’t know about you but... I’m ready to say goodbye to this awkward turtle of a year. I hope you stay safe and have a wonderful New Year’s Eve! 🌟✨🍾 @ 2020 What a Year
