Decoding Dentistry

Insider tips for new practitioners

Why I created this course?

When I began my journey in dentistry, I often wished for a guide to help me navigate the challenges I faced. Many lessons were learned through trial and error, which could have been avoided with proper mentorship. As a "COVID dentist," my clinical experience was limited, but I am confident that with the resources provided in this course, you can surpass my achievements.

Designed to be the guide I once needed, this course offers the knowledge and confidence I lacked. By bridging the gap between dental school and practical dentistry, it equips you with the skills to provide the highest quality care to your patients. My goal is for students to enter NHS dentistry with increased confidence and clarity, ultimately becoming the competent and compassionate dentists that patients deserve.
