Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Zhownirovych wanted to work in the medical field for as long as she can remember. As she got older, she was exposed to dentistry thanks to her mom, who is a dental hygienist. Ultimately, she decided that dentistry was a much better fit for her and her interests than medicine.
