Episode Details

Welcome to the New Grad Focus Series by Dental Head Start. Join us across a limited series of episodes as we take a deep dive into the journey of a new grad, covering various topics from multiple different angles. 

Hosted by Dr Phillip Nguyen

Congratulations! You’ve finally made it through dental school and now you’re ready to start working as a dentist! 

Although studying dentistry may have felt like a huge challenge in your life, your first year as a dentist is likely to feel the same, if not more. So what are the key tips and tricks you need to know as you begin seeing patients and are doing procedures without the safety net of a supervisor checking off the key steps? 

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Michelle Chen who is a graduate of the University of Queensland and works at the Kashyap Dental Group in the Brisbane and Ipswich areas. Within her workplace, she has a role in the mentorship program of new graduate dentists and has seen the common mistakes that many make when first starting out. 

This episode will wrap up the entire series and is the perfect summary to listen to before you start your first day of work. We hope you enjoy the episode and good luck in your careers as dentists!
