Dr. Hassan proves that dentistry, done with real humanity, is about far more than teeth it’s about trauma, dignity, and helping people reclaim their smile and their story. From domestic violence survivors to patients terrified of the chair, he uses technical skill and deep empathy to create a different kind of dental experience.
✅ Choose the right life, not the “right” title: He tried on identities from biologist to pilot before settling into dentistry and insists others honor their own path instead of living out someone else’s expectations.
✅ See the human, not just the mouth: Open-heart patients needing clearance, women hiding broken teeth from abuse, people sedating away childhood dental trauma these cases demand emotional presence, not just clinical precision.
✅ Heal the root, not just numb the pain: Gently stepping people down from IV sedation and working through their fear is about healing nervous systems and stories, not only fixing cavities.
If you’ve ever dreaded the dentist or forgotten how much impact a truly kind professional can have on someone’s life Dr. Hassan’s approach is a powerful reminder.
