Dentists. What makes us tick? For many people, a trip to the dentist at the top of the list of things they would prefer not to do. Makes you wonder why anyone would decide to be a dentist at all.

In this episode of the Dental As Anything podcast we talk to dentist and author Max Lee about his new book ‘Why am I a dentist? A search for clarity and meaning.’ Max is a general practitioner who works in private practice in Victoria, having previously spent time working as a dentist in Singapore. Max reflects on his journey from dental school to a new graduate dentist in a foreign country, and highlights some of challenging experiences and darker periods in his career, and how that has shaped the person - and health professional - that he is today.

The book is available at Amazon, Booktopia and other online retailers.
