After more than two decades in dentistry, there have been times when I’ve felt that I had given a patient everything I possibly could, yet it still wasn’t enough. That feeling, I think, is something many dentists recognise today. We polish, scale, educate, and restore… but sometimes, deep down, we know the underlying drivers of [...]
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there? Struggled to find the right word in conversation? Or felt like your thinking is wrapped in cotton wool?
