Out of curiosity, what made you decide on this? Any field within dentistry of particular interest?

I chose dentistry because I have pretty much been impressed with dentists. They are smart, have some of the best people skills of the doctors I've seen, outside of my childhood pediatrician, and they seem to have a pretty high job satisfaction. That and the fact that I love to work with my hands, especially my dremel (ha ha).
I could go into why I think that dentistry is very important to health and longevity, but you probably know all this. I also want to make a difference in the health and welfare of my community, and my present line of work is not giving me that satisfaction, or the challange.
I have noticed, since looking into the qualifications "suggested" by my local dental school, UNC, that they want you to have a music and art(sculpture, especially) background. I'm sure this is mainly for the manual dexterity. Did your school also want you to have this kind of background? Just curious, as I've always enjoyed playing music and crafting things with my hands.
