We sat down and had a chat with Dr. Eijah Holness in her outstanding office designed by DC Dental. The following is the conversation with Dr. Holness: DC Dental: What motivated you to go into dentistry?

DC Dental: What has been the most challenging?

Dr. Holness: I always knew that I was going to be a doctor of some sort. I guess when I had braces as a teenager, I started to really look at dentistry as a field and I liked what I saw. I saw that there was a need for African American dentists in particular. I love that there is such flexibility within the field; you can do so many things from education to public health to private practice to corporate. There are options and I don’t feel like I should ever be locked into one thing, so I like that about it.

Dr. Holness: The most challenging has been associating. It was very challenging for me and that is what led me to want to open my own practice. It also taught me a lot, so I’m really glad for all of the perspectives that I was able to gain from my different experiences associating throughout Maryland and D.C.

DC Dental: To date, what has been your proudest moment in your dental career? Dr. Holness: I would say opening this practice. That is pretty much the proudest moment.

Hometown:

DC Dental: How do you make your patients feel less anxious and more comfortable during their visit? Dr. Holness: First of all, we are here to cater to people who are anxious and that is a lot of people whether they admit it or not. We try to create a relaxing atmosphere with music and television and we offer different options for the patient’s comfort such as the wand and dental vibe. We let them know that we are listening, if you tell us that something is uncomfortable then we will listen.
