Spring 2019 Edition “Pearls of Knowledge”
Letter from the President Welcome to the latest issue of the Alamolar, our chapter’s premier newsletter! I want to thank our team for working tirelessly on publishing another quality newsletter that highlights the students that encompass our program.
We are very happy to present this spring edition of our ASDA periodical, the “Alamolar”!
As the 2018-2019 school calendar year comes to a close, we look back on the great things our chapter has accomplished. We implemented new events, provided more benefits to our members, and saw an increase in membership across our chapter. Our yearly gala, Mandiball, was the most successful to date and is always an excellent way for students to interact among classes. We now have more leaders serving in district and national positions in an effort to keep organized dentistry at the forefront of what we do. Our team has taken risks while exploring new opportunities and will continue to do so for the benefit of our members.
This issue highlights some advice from current students at UT Health San Antonio in the hopes that you, the reader, may be able to learn from them and make your experience in dental school a better one!
It has been an honor to serve this association and I look forward to the growth we will continue to see. We hope you enjoy this issue and the stories told by our students!

SIX THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE IN DENTAL SCHOOL
BY ARUSHI GARG, GRAYSON McREYNOLDS, AND PABLO MEDINA
As we trek along the path of the 4 years that train us to be effective, caring dentists, there are a few pieces of advice that class president of 2022, Pablo Medina, and student, Grayson McReynolds, believe are essential in surviving and thriving the climb to the top.
1- PATIENCE Patience in dental school is crucial! No one became a dentist overnight. Similarly, the hand skills needed to become a dentist will not happen overnight. Everyone in the class is at a different level. Some can wax up a tooth and prep a tooth effortlessly, and others may not. That is okay! We are here to learn. If you are struggling, go practice, be patient, and most importantly, ask for help! You will get to where you need to be if you put in the work. It will just take some time.
4
2- DON'T BE AFRAID TO FAIL...YOU'RE GOING TO Since failure will come, embrace what the experience can teach you. School is designed to allow for your mistakes, so that when you have a patient in your chair the fear is gone and the skills are there! Failure now allows for high success later, and the capability of problem solving when the occasional fluke happens!
3- PURSUE DENTISTRY WITH HARD WORK AND PASSION, BUT THINK BIG PICTURE It’s true that you have to want to be here in order to survive. Dental school is no walk in the park. In your first year, you'll notice that the profession will demand a lot, but the rewards and inspiration are limitless. Understand that what you got yourself into is an AWESOME profession, so be excited and work hard...BUT! Do not forget about your other passions and commitments. Chances are, you're a talented and driven person if you made it here, and to neglect other endeavors that need your influence, would be doing a disservice.
4- ASK QUESTIONS In a world where you have the capability to find an answer within seconds, it can be tempting to learn independently and disregard any advice that urges you to engage in dialect. However, especially when it comes to hand skills, it is impossible to learn everything you need to know in isolation. The best teaching moments have come through times of asking and sometimes re-asking, in order to understand the ‘how’ and the ‘why.’ In addition, some didactic course work is only digested through dialogue, especially when covering topics which are cutting-edge. Hearing different sides is crucial to understanding the whole picture, and maybe developing something revolutionary.
5
5- FRIENDS Making friends is probably of one the most beneficial things you can do. In making friends you will find people to study with, get coffee with, have game nights with, be roommates with, and someone to talk about life with and KEEP YOU SANE. Being able to have someone to talk about life with is probably one of the most important reasons for making friends in dental school. You all will be going through all the same struggles and being able to talk to someone about similar struggles will not only calm any anxieties you have about dental school, but it will get you through.
6- KNOW YOU HAVE A HUGE SUPPORT TEAM This school would not have chosen you if they didn't think you could succeed! The application pool is pretty large…they had a lot of options! So, remember when you’re discouraged or encounter some test anxiety, that the professors, faculty, and even your class want to see you succeed! So get the help, get the encouragement, and even allow for the constructive criticism at times!
Enjoy every step of the way in your dental school journey, and know that there is no harm in reviewing material that was presented in previous classes. We are here to become better clinicians, and in part of becoming the best clinicians we need to review, retain, and research information. Cherish and maintain the relationships you make with students, faculty, and those that help keep your facility clean and usable for your education. Once you reach the peak, you will be able to enjoy the horizon.

Find a Mentor
By: Luke Seiler
It had to have been early February of my first year, in the midst of studying for my endodontic/ periodontic midterm, when I made a trip to the fill up my empty water bottle that I stumbled upon a lost local dentist looking for the school’s pathology department. Having been a first year, I still found myself lost in navigating the school, but decided to help this friendly dentist in his quest to drop off a biopsy sample. As we wandered around the maze of UTHSCSA’s main campus, we sparked a conversation. We ended up exchanging contact information, in hopes to connect for a tour of his practice and maybe even some summer work. About a month after our encounter, I decided to make a trip to Aguirre Pediatrics Family Dentistry. Having just a minimal background in my dental knowledge, I thought it quite peculiar that a well-established dentist was so willing to reach out and give a young aspiring dental student such an awesome opportunity. I was met that Saturday morning with a smile extending from ear to ear on Dr. Aguirre’s face, and bag full of tacos from Los Potrillos. I spent the morning with Dr. Aguirre assisting in a few procedures and left that day with lunch and a job offer to assist in his practice over the summer. Before school, I had assisted in a few offices, but this seemed like a great opportunity. I would get to see live dentistry, and now with a base knowledge of the profession I could actually pick up a few tips and tricks from Dr. Aguirre’s restorative methods, as well as the ins and outs of running a business. I was able to work with Dr. Aguirre for three weeks over the summer. He taught me many things, whether it be how to treat a patient with severe TMD, perfecting cast pouring, survey and designing partial dentures, and even front desk/management procedures. However, I walked away with more than just a jumpstart on second year material. As helpful as those three weeks of crash course dental procedures was, what I found most benefiting was just being able to observe Dr. Aguirre’s interaction with his patients. I have never seen a more loving man towards his patients and his community. Dr. Aguirre wasn’t just the dentist of this small underserved area, he was there counselor, a role model. Dr. Aguirre not only treated the dental needs of his patients, but he also helped with their mental health, and he always fostered a learning environment. There were times when the doctor didn’t even place a mirror or explorer in his patients’ mouths, but rather talked and listened to their story. He encouraged them to live healthy lives and encouraged many to change the direction of their troubled situations. For some, he recommended reading “The Upward Spiral” by Alex Korb, which served as a life-changing read for many including myself. He empowered the youth of the community, and I saw several young adults come in to his office just to tell him about their application process for college or there first few years of experience. The passion he instilled about educational advancement and mental health resonated in the community, and I realized he truly is a local hero. Overall, Dr. Aguirre taught me much about life in such a short threeweek period, but luckily, we have been able to keep in touch over the grueling second year of school, for which I am very thankful. Dr. Aguirre has been a phenomenal mentor for me and those around him and I encourage everyone to find a mentor outside of school to help in their dental school experience. If I had one tip for those looking to enrich their dental school experience, it would be to help that lost dentist wandering the school because it could end up changing your life.

WHY EVERY DENTAL CLASS SHOULD USE SLACK Written by: Keya Patel Whether it’s keeping up with
Stephanie Tran (DS1) is the driving force behind converting our
assignments, lab work, or taking
entire class from GroupMe to Slack. Having heard about Slack’s
exams, everyone knows dental school is tough. This is why many dental classes across the nation use a myriad of ways to keep in contact, and more traditionally,
practicality, Stephanie realized it was the perfect way to have both academic and social conversations in one app. “Within the first week of school, I found it incredibly annoying and stressful to receive GroupMe messages about IPC while I was studying HHD,” Stephanie adds, “it was also confusing when someone answered a question posted 3 hours ago because everything is one thread”.

Not only does Slack put the brain at ease, but the custom emoji feature also makes Slack fun! “While Facebook only gives us six emoji to react with, we have created over 180 custom emojis using classmates’ faces, memes, dancing gifs, and name it after catchphrases, inside jokes, or various emotions”, Stephanie continues, “For example, Dory’s emoji is named “:just-keep-swimming:” and is used when times are stressful but we need to stay positive.” Our class enjoys these emojis and has gotten a lot closer because we have a great communication platform. Surviving dental school truly requires a strong class bond, and this can be achieved through a platform like Slack. The DS1 class’s friendship and efficiency can be contributed to Slack, thanks to its multi-functionality, organization and the fact that it brings out the best and most helpful side of every student.

The Wisest Investor By Isaac Bunker I crouch low, trying to keep my breathing as inaudible as possible. Footsteps sound on the metallic floor above me. Through the small holes that permit the morning dew to drop onto my shoulders and back, I can see a pair of feet making their way from one end of the structure to the other. I follow the light pings of the feet rebounding on the metal surface. Suddenly they stop and a voice calls out. I stand frozen, waiting for the right opportunity. The feet begin to shift slightly and I notice their hesitancy. I quickly emerge from my hiding place underneath the flooring and reach up through the metal bars, grabbing the two small legs the feet belong to. I look up at the small, surprised face staring at me through the metal railing. She gasps, then laughs and exclaims “Daddy!” I pull her through an opening in the bars, wrap her in my arms, and blow a big raspberry kiss on her belly-button. She giggles as my whiskers tickle her skin. Her hands shoot out in protest and cover my eyes and then wrap around my neck. I am the luckiest man alive. I realize that I have finally come to understand – to some small degree – a piece of wisdom my grandparents passed down to me. Wise men invest their money; the wisest men invest themselves. In 1949, during the wake of World War II, my great grandparents Albert and Elisabeth Schellenberg boarded a boat bound for the United States with their small family. They were Swiss by heritage and, although their native country had not actively participated in WWII, they still suffered from the post-war economic fallout. They left their beloved Switzerland and began one of the greatest investments they would make over the course of their lives. The decision to cross an ocean to a foreign land was not taken lightly by Albert and Elisabeth. In order to afford the journey the young family sold everything that they owned. When they arrived in the United States they had 35 dollars in their pockets, the clothes in their suitcases, and a debt of 600 dollars. They had few connections and no job prospects.
11
Compounding the young couple’s difficulties, their new neighbors were understandably guarded towards German speakers; both Albert and Elisabeth initially had difficulty learning English and developing meaningful friendships. It wasn't long, although, till Albert and Elisabeth had become an integral part of their community Albert eventually found employment as a draftsman. He volunteered his time has a Scout Master in the local Boy Scout troop. The young couple raised their children on a healthy diet of hard work and the virtue of self-reliance; and, even though neither Albert nor Elisabeth attended college, they insisted that their children get an education. As a result their children had children of their own that valued hard work and pursued higher education. Although they were never financially wealthy, their dreams and efforts resulted in many successful and educated lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs who have supported communities throughout the world. There is no amount of money that could buy what my great grandma and grandpa built, and their story has shaped my life. I am often asked if it is hard to have a family while in dental school. While I recognize that the balancing act is difficult, I think about grandma and grandpa and realize that having a family is one of the greatest investments I have ever made. I am encouraged by their example and it has given me the faith to cross an educational ocean, learn a new language in dentistry, and face the financial and unforeseen difficulties that dental school presents. Now, I am not saying everyone in dental school needs to go and start a family right away, but what grandma Elizabeth and grandpa Albert taught me was that it is not enough just to go through life collecting accolades and certificates. They, in my opinion, were some of the most influential people in their communities because they invested time in other people. They invested time in their kids and their community and built up strong families who in return shaped the lives of others around them. I am grateful to learn from their legacy and for the lesson they taught me: the wisest investor is the one who invests themself.

Maintaining Your Identity in Dental School
1.
By: Sam Asthana
The overall dental school experience varies so greatly from dental student to dental student even within the same school, much less nationwide. Every dental student comes from a different background, and so we all take away different emotional and internal reactions from what we experience across these four years. But one thing that seems to be consistent for all dental students is the way dental school can transform your personality. Those who want to become dental professionals spend four years devoting almost every waking moment to learning about the field and how to navigate it, and we all can’t help but change. While this change is a great thing, there’s a way to let it build your character without losing sight of the person you were before your life was all about exit angles, biofilms, and radiolucencies. Below is a short list of a few tips I’ve picked up along the way on how to be an involved and committed dental student without wholly losing my identity in the tradeoff. Have a healthy outlet for dental talk. Find a group Don’t only talk about dental school. It’s always a good idea to keep close ones in the loop about what you’re going through, but all of us fall into the trap of droning on about highly specific dental things to our significant others, family members, and friends who probably couldn’t care less. This sort of one-sided conversation can often replace the otherwise-unrelated conversations that you might not be having with your dental classmates during school hours. We need those moments of non-dental talk to let our brains refresh, and to reinforce the parts of our personalities not rooted in exams, competencies, and materials!
3.
Start and end your day school-free. End your day focusing on something unrelated to dental school. Starting and ending your day in a school-oriented mindset can introduce a lot of extra stress into your life, and you should consider setting aside those early morning and late night hours for other things. Taking the time to wake up a little early and make breakfast at home (or to go out for coffee!) can help you start your day with a clear mind, and focus you on a bigger picture than that of simple school matters. Likewise, setting aside a few hours at the end of the night for something relaxing can improve your quality of sleep and help end the day on a good note—maybe you can spend some time reading, watching Netflix, or talking to a family member on the phone before bed.
2.
of people who you trust and can be honest with in school, and try to find time to get together with them to let it all out. It’s tough to find the line between venting and fixating, but ultimately these are some of the only people who fully understand all of the context of your dental life! Being able to discuss school and dentistry with peers will bring you closer to them, will reenforce your feelings about dentistry on the whole, and will help prevent you from dumping your dental-related burdens on the other people in your life.
4. Grow in other fields of life throughout dental
school. Most dental students have hobbies. However, with the intensity and time demand of dental school curricula, hobbies tend to die on the vine for four years during dental school, and reviving them afterwards takes a lot of effort. A big part of this is setting goals for yourself in the same way you might as a student.. It’s hard to set aside time and effort to devote to your passions in this way, but if it is something important to you, you’ll be able to find a way to make it work. And besides, if it were easy, then everybody would do it, and we all know that by getting into dental school you’ve made a commitment to not just be anybody!
Dental school is an arduous and time-draining four years. It’s also an education that’s so fully immersive and constantly introducing new ideas, and the fact that most dental students get totally devoted to the field is a great thing! It means that we are excited about our future vocations and that we care about learning and being the best clinicians that we can be. However, any professional in any field needs balance in their life, and taking these few steps to create healthy habits in dental school will pay off down the road, and your future dental professional self will thank you!

Student Loans in Dental School
Written by: Chris Wilbur Financial Advisor
Dental School is really demanding, let alone expensive! The cost of admission is high, and yet annually hundreds of students across the country decide to double down and invest in themselves and their ability to practice Dentistry. The return is a potentially six figure income, which is used to pay down those loans, and for future financial security. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to have your Graduate education paid for, you probably have some amount of Loans. Here’s what to know while in Dental School: FAFSA – apply early! Each October, a new form comes out for the next year. It takes about 30 minutes to do so get it out of the way sooner rather than later to stay ahead of the curve and not stress about doing it last minute. Have all your ducks in a row so you can hit the ground running and focus on your studies! Make a Budget Know what you’ll need each year! Make sure to account for everything as accurately as possible, because you don’t want to end up over-borrowing. It’s still a Loan at the end of the day, but you also don’t want to have to use a credit card for things. Figure out what your annual expenses are going to be before taking your disbursement. This means more than just “living like a Dental Student”! Here you can practice good cash management to help form habits for when you finish and start working. Add up all your monthly expenses to find out what you spend – and track it. Use an app (such as Mint) for looking at where you spend money each month. Also, keep in mind any other large expenses you have coming up, such as new clothes, books & supplies, ASDA Dues, etc. Take a Long-term Perspective Rome wasn’t built in a day as they say! Which should serve as a reminder that you can’t even start paying down your loans while you’re still in Dental School. Simply put, loan reimbursement presently shouldn’t be a worry. Why lose sleep over it now? Will you be able to pay off your Loans with your Income as a Dentist? Yes, with a budget! The question is, “when is it going to be optimal”? Learning how to be a great Dentist first is the best place to focus your energies – and you’ll put yourself in a position to pay back your Loans after you graduate. If you would like to learn more about Student Loans or other financial topics, feel free to reach out!

Using Your Strengths and Staying Motivated In Dental School
By: Joel Elizondo Five years, three application cycles, and one acceptance letter; to say the road to dental school was difficult would be an understatement. In retrospect, all the challenges I encountered on my journey to dental school would play an integral role in preparing me to handle the rigors and setbacks throughout dental school.
Some students struggle with the academic and clinic requirements in dental school and it is well known the negative impact dental school can have on your quality of life. No one is immune to the “bad days” but it is one’s ability to recover and continue to stay motivated that allows for success. You may ask, “How can you stay motivated when you have three exams in one-week, multiple progress assessments or you have one week left to fulfill clinic requirements?” For me, I remain motivated by being aware of my strengths and surrounding myself with others who inspire me to be the best version of myself. But what does it mean to “know your strengths” and “surround yourself with others who encourage you to be the best”? Before I began dental school, I was a Director and Grand Opening trainer for Chick-fil-A. This was an extremely fulfilling experience and I often joke that if I didn’t end up in dental school then I would’ve owned a Chick-fil-A and sold the “The Lord’s Chicken.” During one of our quarterly trainings, the book/ assessment called StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath was highly recommended (Dr. Jackson, a faculty member here, has also referenced this book in his Professional Development course). The theory behind this strategy was that after you completed the assessment and were given your top five strengths, you would focus on applying these strengths rather than trying to improve your weaknesses. After reading this book and deciding to implement this theory in my post-bac coursework, I became a different person, student, and leader. I emphasized the use of my strengths in almost every aspect of my life. I discovered that by doing this I was happier and more confident in accomplishing almost any task. I used this method to keep me working diligently throughout the next year so that I could accomplish my goal of finally reaching dental school. Now that I had the groundwork established and had reached dental school, I knew that it would be challenging, so it was essential to find others who shared the same motivation and values as me. I was fortunate to find classmates who inspire me and help me maintain an understanding of my purpose in dental school. It is easy to become discouraged and disappointed throughout school, but it is vitally important to surround yourself with others who can provide direction when you feel lost in the neverending challenges that are presented to us daily. For DS1s and DS2s, discover your strengths and strive to implement those qualities in your daily work. Also, find those classmates that inspire you and keep you sane when you fail a PA, miss a letter grade by one point, or experience personal hardships. For DS3s and DS4s, keep practicing on implementing your strengths; it is easy to lose track of what makes you the best student and clinician when you run through the daily motions of clinic. Continue to work to maintain those relationships that you have already established because after you graduate you will experience new life challenges that require the support of others.

What's in a Name? By Pratyusha Malireddy
Have you ever wondered where all those crazy street names around the Medical Center come from? Wonder no more! Here are the people behind some of roads we drive on every day. 18
Harry McLeary Wurzbach was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1874. A practicing attorney, he also served in the Spanish-American War as a private. In 1921, he was elected as a Republican to the 67th Congress, becoming the first Texan to serve as a Republican representative following Reconstruction. He was the only Texan representative to vote in favor of the Dyer antilynching bill in 1922.
Joseph Huebner was an Austrian immigrant who settled in Bexar county. He quickly gained business success in San Antonio, opening a bustling stagecoach stop along the stage line route from San Antonio to Bandera. He is buried on his homestead property.
Robert Floyd Curl, Jr. was an American chemist born in 1933 in Alice, Texas. He and his colleagues discovered buckminsterfullerene, a spherical form of carbon. It was the third discovered allotrope of carbon (graphite and diamond being the first two) and led to the discovery of other fullerenes. Alongside his colleagues, he received the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work.
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a prolific French chemist and microbiologist whose pioneering research lead to significant advancements in science and medicine. He discovered the principle behind fermentation and developed vaccines for both anthrax and rabies. Today, he is perhaps best known for creating the process of pasteurization whereby liquids can be purified from contamination through heat. The Medical Center’s Louis Pasteur Dr. is only one of many streets, institutions, and hospitals named after this great scientist.
Ewing Halsell was a cattle farmer who owned ranches in Texas and Oklahoma in the early 20th century. He developed a vast business empire with its central base of operations in San Antonio. Halsell and his wife also made time for many social and civic causes including the construction of the San Antonio medical school. They established the Ewing Halsell Foundation in 1957 which continues to do good work in the San Antonio area today.
Merton Melrose Minter was a physician born in Jewett, Texas in 1903. He earned his M.D. at the UT Medical Branch and proceeded to be active in the medical community throughout his life. He also served as a regent and later the chairman of the University of Texas System. During his term, he played a key role in building the UT medical school here in San Antonio. He also helped establish other local medical institutions such as the Southwest Texas Methodist Hospital.
