Meet Bro. Peter Akl. He's a dentist who attends our church. During our interview with him, Bro. Akl said that his favorite part of dentistry is working with his hands. His least favorite part of being a dentist is hurting people. He decided that he wanted to become a dentist in his first year of college. It took twelve years to become a dentist - 4 years of college, 4 years of dentist school, and 4 years of residency. A few of his words to those aspiring to go into dental work are, "It's a great field to go into because you can have your own practice, your own hours, and your own office." Bro. Akl says he definitely sees a future in dentistry; one of the latest technologies in dentistry is computerized teeth! With this tool, Bro. Akl can design crowns on the computer. Bro. Akl has been a dentist for 20 years and has treated a total of about 10,000 patients. WOW! That's a lot of teeth! We are thankful for the time Bro. Akl took to tell us about his job. And we are really thankful that the entire Akl family has come to our church!
Dentist joke:
What time does the dentist go to work?
2:30. (tooth hurty!!)
