Because that's exactly what you're doing. You're doing veneers. You're doing cosmetic dentistry, and you know, you talk the talk, you walk the walk, right? [Manrina]Right. That's exactly. It makes my job easy. Cuz my patients will come in and they'll be like, Can you give me a smile like yours? I'm like, you know what I can. And that's half the job done. [Jaz]Perfect. So tell to my listeners a little bit about yourself, about your journey and how you got into cosmetic dentistry and veneers in particular. [Manrina]So I have a really interesting career pathway. A really unusual one, I think. When I graduated from university, and at the time, it was VT. So I graduated in 2002. From Guys hospital, which is now Kings. And there was a job opening that came up for Harvey Nichols, first dentist. And they were asking, yeah, so they were asking for someone that was two years graduated, and someone that was five years graduated, like as a minimum requirement.
