Welcome back to Conversations With Dental Friends.

This week, in Episode 9, I’m sitting down with Dr Naweed Mamood an incredible associate dentist working across multiple practices both in the north and south of Ireland.

This episode really leans into the reality of growth in dentistry:

✨ how learning on the job actually happens, one tiny improvement at a time

✨ why good mentorship doesn’t just guide you, it elevates you

✨ how honest reflection is the backbone of real progress

✨ why challenges teach you just as much (if not more) than your wins

✨ and how empowering your team creates success that genuinely feels shared

A huge thank-you to Dr Naweed for being so open and generous with his insight not just clinically, but in how he approaches development as a whole. All links are in the show notes, and you can follow Naweed over at @dr.naweed.dentistry to keep up with his upcoming courses.

I want to hear from you too how are you growing as an associate right now?

Drop your thoughts in the comments.

See you next week for another Conversation With Dental Friends 🤍
