Communication takes place between people at almost every moment of everyday and someone who has exceptional communication skills can leave a positive long-term effect on the people that they communicate with. Good doctor patient communication is key in any field of medicine, but in dentistry…
A high-pitched whining filled the air as I gingerly held a high-speed handpiece for the first time. While drilling away at a typodont, a familiar sensation quickly enveloped me.
