dentistry early in his life, Plummer said, "1 had my front
* teeth knocked out when 1 was 6 or 7, so 1 was very much
acquainted with dentistry early for a somewhat extended
period," he recalled.
It wasn't until his sophomore year at NCCU that he
decided he wanted to be a dentist.
"1 was good with my hands and had a pretty sharp
mind," said Plummer, adding, "It was a choice between
best means of combining both the abilities of my hands
and mind."
The fact that Plummer likes to see things from beginning
to end played a part in his choice as well.
"As a dentist you can start with a bad situation, correct
it, and see the results of your efforts, whereas with
medicine, it is often a case of applying your skill and hoping
for the best," he said.
i the future, Plummer hopes to open his own
practice in the northwest area of Winston-Salem within
^ the next year. Until then, he will help Oliver.
