Why dentistry?
Growing up in rural Michigan, Dr. Benjamin Turnwald became a dentist because he always loved developing relationships with people by going to a business where they knew your name. It was his goal to bring the small-town friendliness from his hometown to Benjamin Turnwald Dentistry.
His love for dentistry developed when he job-shadowed a dentist, and a patient entered the dentist’s office crying in pain from a toothache. The dentist treated her, and she walked out feeling so much better and hugged the dentist. Ever since that day, Dr. Turnwald never looked back.
“The best part of my job is to see our patients’ changes in their perception around going to the dentist and the experience that they have.”
