Why Did You Want to
Become a Dentist?
Dr. Kakarla was drawn to dentistry because she saw that it would give her the opportunity to help people on a daily basis. She was exposed to a lot of friends and family members who lacked adequate dental care growing up, and she wanted to be able to protect people from having to deal with easily preventable problems.
