Description: Transcription: - When I was a boy, I used to run to his office. 0:01 The guys liked to kid me. 0:05 Running to a dentist, 0:06 but he was some dentist. 0:08 His name was Dr. Bran. 0:10 And he always let me come five minutes early, 0:13 just so I could see his lab. 0:15 He let me touch things and tell me about them. 0:19 I used to get so excited. 0:23 I, I tell Dr. Bran I was going to be a dentist 0:24 when I grew up 0:27 and he pat my head and say, fine, fine. 0:28 Only he never told me how hard it was to become one. 0:33 When I was older I learned 0:37 he went to college for eight years 0:39 and had to study dozens of subjects, 0:42 not just dental ones, 0:44 but physiology and anatomy and bacteriology. 0:46 Of course, I didn't know that then. 0:51 All I knew was that 0:53 going to Dr. Bran's was better than the movies. 0:55 Somehow I, I never did become a dentist, 0:58 but I'm sure glad Dr. Brand did. 1:02 What he showed me about taking care of my teeth 1:05 has given me what he calls, a smile for life. 1:08
