Especially, what lead you to your huge commitment in and interest for sports dentistry?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think the single biggest factor that led to my involvement in sports dentistry is the people.\u00a0 Sports dentistry is filled with phenomenal people. The players and coaches, the stadium or venue filled with fans, and especially the professional colleagues that make up the medical team.\u00a0 I consider myself very lucky to have made so many lasting friendships through sports dentistry.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How does a typical day at work as a sports dentist look like? What kind of athletes do you see, are there any trends regarding which type of sports (eg. contact sports like boxing, ice hockey) you see most often and what about leisure athletes?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My dental practice is not limited to sports dentistry so most days I am not directly working on only athletes.\u00a0 We are a family dental practice that has been serving the needs of our community for over 40 years.\u00a0 During my tenure as the official team dentist for the Chicago Bandits professional softball team I obviously worked closely with the players and staff.\u00a0 We also see quite a few leisure or recreational athletes as well as student athletes from surrounding areas. These athletes participate in a wide variety of different sports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What was the best decision you ever made?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best professional decision I ever made was easily my decision to apply to dental school.\u00a0 This is an amazing profession that affords its members such a vast array of opportunities as well as the ability to tailor make your daily professional life into exactly what you desire.\u00a0 Some dentists love sports dentistry and are drawn into that subfield.\u00a0 Others love cosmetics, public health, geriatrics, pediatrics, and so many others.\u00a0 You can own one single small office, or many offices, or choose to never own an office at all.\u00a0 It is an amazing profession that has given me so much.\u00a0 I am very fortunate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What was the biggest risk you ever took? How do you feel about it now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The biggest risk I ever took was buying my dental practice in 2009.\u00a0 I was young, and probably a bit underprepared for the business and management side of buying a dental practice, but it quickly proved to be one of the best things I could have done in my professional career. Hard work, perseverance, and a working alongside amazing coworkers are three essentials to success and I was fortunate to have all three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What 3 things are you most thankful for in your medical career?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first would be the fantastic people I\u2019ve met along my professional journey. From patients to colleagues, I have been very fortunate to both work with and deliver care to some absolutely amazing people.\u00a0 The second would be dental organizations.\u00a0 I love how organizations allow like-minded colleagues to come together professionally but also personally.\u00a0 I feel my abilities as a dentist really started to grow when I became active in a variety of organizations.\u00a0 Finally, I am thankful for the ever-advancing technology and techniques of our profession. \u00a0 From intraoral scanners and milling units to Cone Beam CAT scans, technology and techniques are allowing dentists across the world to deliver better dental care than ever before.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very exciting time to be in the dental field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is your greatest strength?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professionally, I think only of my strengths is diagnostics.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always enjoyed being able to have a patient sit down and work together to figure out a diagnosis and course of treatment.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always likened it to being a detective like Sherlock Holmes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is the most challenging project you have ever undertaken?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Managing my practice during the COVID-19 pandemic was certainly one of the most challenging projects I\u2019ve every professionally undertaken.\u00a0 In the end, I feel we were extremely successful in our efforts but arriving at that point took quite a bit of hard work and effort.\u00a0 It would never have happened without my stellar staff, especially my office manager Tammie.\u00a0 Simply put, she\u2019s a rockstar who\u2019s insight and game planning were essential to our successful navigation through the twists and turns of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What advice would you give to a younger version of yourself \u2013 say between the age of 25-30 years-old?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019d tell myself to \u201cTrust your gut instinct.\u201d\u00a0 Dental professionals are often meticulous, obsessive, detail-oriented individuals.\u00a0 These traits are a benefit when providing dental care to patients, but can sometimes be a hindrance in other situations.\u00a0 Sometimes there isn\u2019t time, or there isn\u2019t the ability to meticulously dissect an issue in business, or in life, to the same degree that you might chairside.\u00a0 By giving my younger self this advice, perhaps I\u2019d streamline some decision-making processes, or at least make them less stressful than they were.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What tips would you give to students\/junior doctors to improve their career prospects?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, commit to being a lifelong learner.\u00a0 We live in an era where research and information is both produced and disseminated so quickly, we as dentists have an obligation to consume knowledge more than any era before.\u00a0 Doing so mutually benefits both dental practitioner as well as patient.\u00a0 Second, be sure to take a few business classes prior to dental school.\u00a0 It will allow you to see daily issues in two different lights, as a healthcare provider as well as a businessperson.\u00a0 Effectively blending these two viewpoints also benefits both patient and dental practitioner.\u00a0 Finally, become active in professional dental organizations.\u00a0 I have gained some of the best knowledge and met some of the best friends through these groups.\u00a0 Young dentists befriending and learning from older and more experienced dentists is fantastic and once again, benefits both patients and dental practitioner alike.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">[1] <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Corina Bello, MD.
