'One of my favorite quotes is from a professor in Dental School: 'You cannot use tooth-colored filling material to restore back teeth. ' This reminds me that what we hold to be true today might just turn out not to be true tomorrow. Some truths are timeless while others are not. Another quote I like (because it applies equally to dentistry and life in general) is You didn 't come this far just to get this far. In other words, keep going.'
