It’s Friday! And I can’t think of a better way to end the week than spending time with Dr. Agarwal and the rest of our amazing team! ✨
OFFICIALLY A LICENSED DENTIST!! 🥳🎉🦷 I am a bit lost for words because 2 days ago I was struggling hard core trying to finish operative and perio portions of CDCA. I spent too much time overthinking the pink I saw and caries location of tooth #30 MO that I barely had time to complete the anterior restoration and perio. It was 9 full hours of pure panic and endless & frantic prayer to God, please help me get through this..!

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: My favorite thing about TUSDM is/was working on new preps in preclin and joking around with people. I also like making quizlet sets (it’s kind of my thing). I came here for school because I shadowed a Tufts alum when I was in undergrad. He seemed skilled and was very professional, which is what I’m aiming for.
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: Outside of school I enjoy playing guitar, going for walks around Boston, playing pool and doing jiu jitsu

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My favorite thing about TUSDM is without a doubt the people here. My classmates are the ideal people you want to surround yourself with throughout our dental education!
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? I had a very brief stint with the Greek National Baseball Team, where I played in a prospect game in Windsor, Ontario. I also served as a team waterboy/hypeman/proud older brother for the Greek National Lacrosse Team, where my little brother plays as their starting Midfielder. Other than sports, I'm a huge Godzilla and Jurassic Park nerd and a big car guy as well!

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: One of the things that I highly admire about TUSDM is their commitment to diversity and inclusion in not only their curriculum, faculty, and student body, but also in their patient pool. Working with diverse groups of people, no matter who they are, what socioeconomic status, will always reminds me of why I want to pursue dentistry in the first place.
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: Fun fact about me – I've been to Honduras (twice) and Panama (once) for dental mission trips that provide rural communities with free dental care. Things I'm involved in outside of school – if we're talking about hobbies, I've been watching a lot of korean dramas and netflix, I like playing video games, going camping and hiking, traveling in general, and I like playing sports even though I might be the most unathletic person ever 🙂

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts:
The day I came to visit TUSDM to be interviewed for admissions is the day I knew where I belonged for the next 4 years. It is the day that I discovered the perfect place for me to develop the academic knowledge, manual dexterity, and social skills to practice the beautiful art of dentistry to my best abilities. That day I had discovered the beautiful facilities, proactive administration, and close knit family values that TUSDM prioritizes.
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: Outside of school I balance my duties as a father to a 1 year old boy and as a partner to a V22 at Cummings school of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts. I also enjoy making time for personal growth through outlets such as the gym, sports, and reading self-development books. #dentalstudent #dentallife #TUSDM

This is Dr. Jessie Gideon Garnett D1919. She was the first black woman to be admitted to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. She was told that her admittance to Tufts was a mistake but little did they know. She pioneered the way for women just like me to excel. Thank you Dr. Garnett. ⠀

Moral of the story: Black women, continue to shake the room 🦷💅🏾

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? My two favorite things about Boston are the variety of good food e v e r y w h e r e and that people are always playing soccer somewhere! My favorite thing about Tufts are the OPPORTUNITIES. I love that Tufts offers students so many opportunities to become involved in areas they are passionate about such as community service, global service, advocacy, research, and health and wellness. In addition, there are so many opportunities for students to gain leadership experience by becoming involved in the numerous amount of organizations available. I feel like Tufts truly allows their students to cultivate their dental school experience in any way they choose so they can become the dental professional they want to be. I am sooooo thankful to be here!!
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? When I am not studying, I enjoy exploring everything Boston has to offer despite COVID! I enjoy trying new restaurants, bakeries, bars, and cafes. I also enjoy exploring parks and landmarks with my dog, Kobi.

Hello My New Car, Vovo!🚘🥰
Since December 2020, Tufts Dental Facilities where we provide dental treatments for intellectually disabled patients have slowly started to re-open! Which means my co-chief and I have been having nice 3-40 min morning zen drives every other day to get to these clinics🍃🎶
It’s so good to be back at these clinics, get a change of scenery, see all the old faces we missed so much and serve this patient population again! A lot of these patients haven’t been seen since January of 2020🙀 so lots of emergencies, long overdue exams, prophys and restorations/endo/extraction…💬😶
Since we go to these sites about 9-10 times per month, I decided that it was time to say bye to paying $100+ per trip with Zipcar💸 I started to look into care by Volvo program which is basically a long term car rental! They have a good selection of different (almost brand new) cars, take care of insurance, maintenance, registration and plate and my only portions are parking and gas! And better yet, I can discontinue anytime after 4 months!
So hello my beautiful 2021 Volvo XC40😎(probably only for next 5 months until the end of GPR but still mine for now!🥰)
Any suggestions on car fragrance?👃🏻

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: I absolutely love the sense of community and friendships fostered at TUSDM. The people here have really made my dental education memorable. I am grateful to be surrounded by talented and caring students. We all want to help each other succeed in whatever way: teaching each other how to drill and fill, forming study groups, sharing resources, getting each other coffee between lectures, and always learning from one another.
I am challenged to learn comprehensive material in dentistry, while also getting an advanced hands-on training. I am being equipped with the knowledge and skillset to become a well-rounded dentist and healthcare provider. I am thankful for my Tufts family.
Fun Fact About yourself/Things involved in outside of School: I love traveling and exploring new cities every year. I enjoy visiting historical sites/ museums in each destination and trying the local cuisine. I enjoy outdoor activities and staying active (hiking, running, biking, walking).
Family quality time is very important to me as well.

Favorite thing(s) about Tufts and/or Boston? Along with all the beautiful architecture, unique culture, and amazing history that Boston has to offer, I love the various attractions and entertainment it has for everyone to indulge in. I was first exposed to Tufts when I met Dr. Kasberg. He gave me the best advice, and walked me through the whole interview process. He instantly made me feel so welcomed and like a Tufts Family member. The faculty members here are one of the most caring individuals with highly qualified skills. Additionally, I was drawn to the aspect of how diverse the student body is, as well as the school’s emphasis on mental and physical wellness, and countless opportunities it has to offer in the future.
Fun Fact(s) about yourself and/or hobbies? Some of my hobbies consist of dancing, working out, cooking/baking, traveling, trying new experiences, as well as spending quality time with my family and friends.

Favorite Thing about TUSDM/Why you chose Tufts: I've really enjoyed the positive community that TUSDM has fostered – this was a big reason for why I chose TUSDM. The interview didn't feel forced or stressful; it was very comfortable.
