10 Commandments for Staying Out of Trouble – PDP131

Listen Later

How often do you review your risk management? Do you follow the appropriate radiography guidelines or palpate canines when you are supposed to? These are not the exhilarating or rewarding parts of our clinical practice but they are fundamental and foundational.

In this episode with Dr. Lucy Nichols, a general dentist who also does some dento-legal work in the UK, she shares her 10 commandments for safer dentistry and avoiding dento-legal claims.

Protrusive Dental Pearl: ‘I don’t have time’ is just not true. It’s a lie we tell ourselves. We should reframe it. Instead, we should say “I’m not making [task / activity / necessity] a PRIORITY in my life right now”. We should reflect on what are we making a priority in our lives right now.
