Despite three of his four siblings also being dentists, Dr. Nguyen actually started his career by being a registered nurse for six years. During this time, he witnessed firsthand the importance of maintaining good dental health because he had to take care of many patients who had to rely on feeding tubes because they couldn’t eat due to ill-fitting dentures or infections. He ended up shadowing in his older brother’s dental office, and watching him help anxious patients get what they need, inspired him to enter the dental field as well.
