I, Zirconium, am the best element for the field of dentistry. I have trained for four years in the ways of fixing teeth (I am used in many crowns for teeth). I would be an excellent dentist, as I can easily clean anybody’s teeth of plaque, especially plaque caused by alcohol (I have oxidized wine in the past). If a patient of mine broke my rules by either not wearing retainers or not brushing teeth, I would be able to relate with them as I set them straight. After all, when I was younger, I committed identity fraud. I stole the identity of carbon (as cubic zirconia). Finally though, I was caught as a fraud and locked away. I believe my partner in crime, silicon, is still locked away. After I was released from jail, I realized my wrongdoings had to end, and so I can now use these experiences to teach my patients not to break //my// rules. I was born in Persia, named after the Persian word, ‘Zargun’ which described the color of my gemstone, Zircon. I am a very religious element, and I attend mass at Church every Sunday morning. I was mentioned in Biblical writings, after all. I’ve taken part in many adventures, but now I want to settle down and start an honest living, with the job of a dentist, for a steady wage.
