Goodbye medical school, hello patients, clinic, dentures, tooth extractions, diagnoses, rotations, radiographs and all of the other things I came to dental school for!
This is my vision for the blog:
1. Lots and lots of pictures of random dental things, either from my own hands or what I see in the world.
(I can't promise that the pictures will be only dental in nature - I am an avid kitty lover and cross stitcher and think the world would benefit from more arts and crafts)
2. Advice for interested and burgeoning students who want to know a little more about the coolest profession on earth
3. Debunking dental and medical myths that are passed around without EBM or historical proof (I was a history major after all)
4. General opinions about dental school, education and dentistry as a profession.
Since May, I have finished the medical component of my curriculum, sped through an accelerated dental review month, passed my boards with a flying "P" (P for Pass!) and will be seeing patients as a third year dental student very shortly. In fact, my first patient is this week. It's just a cleaning so there is no way I could possibly harm my patient. Unless I trip into his mouth and drop my 9-11 curette down his through. Positive thoughts!
Here is a picture of my little pet hedgehog to tide you over until next time.
