The Dentist’s Creed To respect my profession, my reputation and myself. To be honest and fair with my patients as I expect my patients to be honest and fair with me; to think of Dentistry with loyalty, speak of it with praise, and act always as a custodian of its good name. To be a man whose word carries weight with my fellow citizens; to be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a cog. To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price in honest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as a painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured. To remember that success lies within myself, in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them; to convert hard experience into capital for future struggles. Finally, to play the game like a gentleman; and to endeavor to grow as a dentist and as a man with the passage of every day of time. THIS IS MV CREED!
