Why we do what we do
We have been providing education for 8 years, in dentistry, especially the young graduates. Here are some of their challenges they are sharing:
- I don't know what to do with infection control because what I have learned at school is so different
- My office does not require perio charting, is that normal?
- One of the dentists in my office is diagnosing caries a lot more frequently than the other dentist, I am morally challenged
- I don't know how to scale furcation
- I feel as if no one is appreciating how hard I work, is it time to ask for a raise?
- When am I supposed to refer to a periodontist?
