It's called dental practice

Here’s the secret to becoming a skilled and successful dentist….

There’s no shortcuts

A dinner table of dentists was talking about the first steps they took in their careers and how now it is so much harder for new graduate dentists to make their way in the world.

There’s pressure from their peers, social media perfection, and even CPD courses all making you feel like you’re not there yet and it’s a race to get to wherever “there” is.

Dentists can be competitive in nature, we had to win that place at dental school in the first place. Then we competed for experiences, the biggest cavity, the best crown prep, the trickiest extraction.

The actual key to success is getting the basics right. Building a solid foundation.

Learning how to communicate with your patients.

Developing your skills.

Understanding the materials you are using and handling them correctly.

Working effectively with your support team.

Getting your notes and admin right.

Develop a plan to deepen your knowledge

There’s a reason it's called dental practice and not dental shortcuts.
