Interference Cast – Protrusive Dental Podcast

This episode aims to navigate the Dentist around the complicated world of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE). I literally start from the basics and we build up – hope this helps!

I was so happy to get feedback from ‘Finding An Associate Position‘ interference cast episode. What you asked for was some more direction on Portfolios, and that’s exactly what this episode sets out to do!

As well as showing my own CV (it does not need to be too fancy!) and Portfolio, I tap in to Barry Oulton’s experience of hiring – what does he look for in an applicant?

Alan Burgin (@the.cornish.dentist) and I also chat about our journey and the gradual process of organically building your portfolio (it was a snippet from an episode yet to be released).

I echo in the episode that all these things are just to secure your interview – really what matters most is your emotional intelligence and your attitude.

If you know a DF1 that would benefit form this advice, help them out by sharing this podcast with them!

In this interference cast I discuss my opinions and experiences of finding associate positions and what strategies DF1s and Dentists looking for associate positions should consider.

Is BDJ jobs obsolete?

Can social media help?

Is a dental portfolio over-rated?

Surely, you need to know the right people?

Questions and comments on the video welcome!

During this crappy time in our lives (there is never a good time for a Pandemic, right?!) I turn to one of the most positive people I know, Barry Oulton. This 18 minute chat really uplifted me and I think it will help you all.

We discuss
– Mindset
– How to view a problem as an opportunity
– The importance of love (verb)
– Importance of power posing
– Importance of Exercise

In this short episode I discuss 3 reflections from a composite veneer case:

1) Communication – regarding case communication and case acceptance in an ethical manner

2) Using the Mylar Pull technique for interproximal management Full Youtube video for mylar pull technique:

3) A bur which I LOVE to use to shape composite aka ‘the Perio Bur’ (Bur code is 831.204.012)

Welcome to my 2nd Interference Cast – based on Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life.

David Bretton and I came up with our very own 12 Rules for Dentistry!

I had David come on for this because he IS Mr. Positivity in UK Dentistry.

We hope you find these relevant, engaging and ‘real’.
