    Things I wish I knew focus series #1 – As a new graduate with Dr David Keir

    Join us on the Dental Head Start podcast as we dive into our first episode of our four-part series, "5 Things I Wish I Knew." This episode is crafted specifically for new graduates stepping into the world of dentistry. Despite the excitement, the transition from student to practitioner brings its own set of challenges. We discuss the reality of day-to-day dentistry where the need for work-life balance and a supportive work environment becomes crucial. Hear about the common pre-work anxieties that many face and the gradual journey toward overcoming them. We also talk about the loss of structure after university and the importance of taking proactive steps to grow your confidence and scope. Lastly, we delve into effective patient communication strategies—learning to listen rather than fill the silence. Whether you're a new graduate or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate your dental career with confidence and support.

    Discoveries in Dental Focus #2 – Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for Endodontic procedures

    Welcome to the Discoveries in Dental focus series. This series highlights recent dental discoveries and saves you time having to read through numerous journal articles. Hosted by @dr.haydynbathurst In this episode I discuss the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), a calcium silicate-based cement used in endodontic procedures such as pulp capping and preventing pulpal exposure, even in cases of irreversible pulpitis. However, there are potential contradictions in using MTA, such as the need for an aseptic environment and the potential for pulp exposure, which may negate its effectiveness.
