Meet the Business Owner: Salma H.
Dr. Helal realized she was a science nerd back in high school when she took AP Biology and knew she had to do something in the sciences because biology explained just about everything in life. She explored everything from optometry to emergency medicine, and dentistry actually wasn't on her radar until she received dental surgery for her impacted canines (canine teeth stuck in the roof of the mouth) and three years of braces. She realized that dentistry had the perfect mix of science, art, hands-on-treatment, and instant gratification (see a broken tooth, fix a broken tooth), so she knew it was the perfect fit for her.
