Leadership in Dentistry
Mindset for success
Dentistry is a very complex and nuanced profession. It can be incredibly rewarding when well practised and well funded, but on the other hand highly stressful and even dangerous when basic requirements are not met. It's not just about training and experience but also about having the right ecosystem set in place in the clinic, the right technologies, materials and protocols set in place that can allow the practitioner a safe space to deliver comprehensive and quality dental care. This lecture helps young and seasoned practitioners understand and hopefully avoid some of the simple mistakes that are many times overlooked when taking on a new patient. In order to achieve the highest standards of care but also to go home feeling happy and fulfilled require a specific mindset and careful practice management based on science and clinical evidence.
