We had a moment to sit down and ask Dr. Quinones some questions about her favorite things, dentistry and left with some great advice. See what she said!
Guilty pleasure– Chocolate, always chocolate!
Favorite pizza topping– Cheese and garlic.
Best thing to do in the community– Crossfit, I’m a Crossfit addict. Also, I am very grateful to live in this community which is so family oriented. When there are any activities for kids in the community, you will usually see me there with my children.
Favorite quote– If you see someone without a smile, share one of yours.
Tips for your patients– Well, I want them to know how strongly oral health is linked to their general health. One will affect the other and vice versa. Prevention and early detection are the key to keep both of them balanced. That’s why the recall visits are so important!
Advice to students– Figure out what you really love. It might take time and that’s fine but find a career that you will really feel passionate about. You will make a difference when you enjoy what you do.
Favorite TV or movie– Nowadays, I mostly watch cartoons with my kids. If I ever have time to go to the movies without them, I will watch a comedy. I am not a fan of scary movies.
Last concert you went to – Wow, last concert I think I went to was Menudo (El Reencuentro) while I was in college. I used to love that group when I was a kid and when they decided to do a reunion and get back together at stage, me and my college friends had to see them.
Favorite music– Being born and raised in Puerto Rico, Latin music is always a favorite on my playlist. I also enjoy pop music.
Favorite part of dentistry– Seeing the smile on my patients at the end of their visit. It’s very rewarding to see how happy patients are when we help them achieve a confident, healthy smile!
