Welcome to Dental Dose!

by Vivian Ngo

Are you interested in dentistry? Before committing to hundreds of hours as a predental and then four years of dental school, you want to be sure that dentistry is your calling. In addition to confirming if dentistry is right for you, it's totally normal to have some questions about planning your predental journey and setting yourself up for success. 


The biggest questions for predentals are, "What should I do to strengthen my application?" and “Why dentistry?”. I’ve been there before, and I still have lots to learn. However, thanks to my mentors and the ASDA PDC community at UH, I feel prepared for the journey ahead of me. Dental Dose is here to make sure that we answer those questions and reach our goals together as a community!


At Dental Dose, we’re all about addressing your needs for the application process, sharing wellness & studying advice, and exposing you to a variety of intriguing dental-related topics. Dental Dose will allow you to pursue dentistry with confidence, relay your knowledge to your predental peers, and explore the multifaceted nature of dentistry.


Stay tuned for our articles each month in order to make the most out of your predental journey! Being vigilant about reading dental news and sources similar to Dental Dose gave me guidance, new aspects of dentistry to love, and opportunities that led to lifelong companions. I found out dentistry was for me because I stayed informed, and I have no doubt that this field has a place for you too. It’s a rigorous and long journey to earn a DDS, but we have each other to make this special time a fun, valuable, and rewarding one.

Hiya, I'm Vivian Ngo! I am a Junior at the University of Houston, majoring in Nutritional Sciences.  I love to organize oral health community outreaches, create awareness for dental issues through writing, and to get to know ASDA members! You will most likely find me doing 3D digital art/printing, clay sculpture, thrifting, and playing instruments in my free time! Due to ASDA’s positive impact on me, I want to pay it forward by providing resources and being an outlet for advice to anyone on their pre-dental journey.
