https://www.dentalheadstart.com/feature-72-perspectives-of-a-dental-student-with-joanne-ling-richard-zhu-anushka-fernando/

At Dental Head Start, our goal has always been to keep our conversations real and relevant for students and new grads, and so what better way to do that than to hear directly from you guys! In this episode, we are joined by some fellow students from around Australia, who are completing their final year of dental school, to get their perspectives on what it’s like for the new generation of dentists.

From USYD to UQ to La Trobe, join us to hear about the differences between each university’s curriculum and culture, the different committees and extra-curricular activities Richard, Anushka & Joanne are involved with, and the pearls of wisdom they have for younger students. We dive into what the future looks like for everyone and the topics that as future graduates, we’d love to learn more about.

And if there’s anything you’d like to learn more about, or even if you just want to chat, don’t be a stranger! We’d love to hear from you.

TIP #92 – Working Out The Prosthetic Side of Implants with Rob Dulieu

Wednesday, June 15, 2022 • Duration 30:01

https://www.dentalheadstart.com/tip-92-working-out-the-prosthetic-side-of-implants-with-rob-dulieu/

If you’ve ever flipped through a product catalog for prosthetic implant components, you’ll know that there is a LOT there. Literally hundreds of components, connections, abutments, screws, copings, healing caps, analogs, channels and more. And that’s just for one brand.

So when we come to restoring implants, what do we ask our lab for? How do we make decisions around implant prosthetics? What are the common mistakes people make here?

Rob Dulieu is a master ceramist and lab technician with extensive experience in all types of implant restorations - everything from single implant crowns to complex multi-unit cases.

He has guided many young dentists through this steep learning curve and shares with us his top tips for restoring implants and the decision making process around the prosthetic side of implants.

TIP #91 – The Non-Tooth-Related Toothache with Dr Amanda Phoon Nguyen

Wednesday, June 8, 2022 • Duration 29:54

https://www.dentalheadstart.com/tip-91-the-non-tooth-related-toothache-with-dr-amanda-phoon-nguyen/

“If you cannot replicate the pain, don’t take the tooth out.”
The non-tooth-related toothache - the age old conundrum that seems to trouble all dentists. But what is it really in the hands of an oral medicine specialist?
In this episode, Dr Amanda Phoon Nguyen breaks down orofacial pain - from its presentation and diagnosis to how it might be managed. We talk about what general dentists should expect when these patients present at their door, and how they should liaise with specialists.
This is a dense and fascinating discussion about the complexities of orofacial pain. And whilst it may be beyond the scope of general dentists to treat alone, I think it is crucial to appreciate what it is to understand where we stand in the holistic management and treatment of these patients.

TIP #90 – What Your Lab Technician is Really Thinking with Rob Dulieu

Wednesday, June 1, 2022 • Duration 40:51

https://www.dentalheadstart.com/tip-90-what-your-lab-technician-is-really-thinking-with-rob-dulieu/

What do lab technicians really wish for from their dentists? I asked Rob Duleiu, dental technician and master ceramist at RWD dental lab, to give it to us straight. And it’s about criticizing our preps.

In this podcast, Rob and I get into the top do’s and don’ts for dentists, but from the point of view of a ceramist or technician. He reveals some eye opening insights around what we can do as dentists to make life easier for our lab technicians, how to help them do better work for us and achieve a better outcome for our patients.

If you’ve ever blamed your lab for something less than ideal, listen to this episode. We talk preps, impressions, scanning, mode of communication, feedback, photography, videography and more. There’s so much in our control.

TIP #89 – Tax, What’s That? with Bhupesh Kaphle

Sunday, May 29, 2022 • Duration 57:16

https://www.dentalheadstart.com/tip-89-tax-whats-that-with-bhupesh-kaphle/

We learn a lot of things throughout our extensive education, but the one thing we don’t really cover before we graduate is what to do when we suddenly have a taxable income.

Thankfully, even though I have no idea, we have people like Bhupesh Kaphle - an accountant and tax & business advisory specialist - where this is his area of expertise. In this episode, we cover all the tax basics from the different types of taxes, your assessable income, allowable deductions, choosing a good accountant and the importance of recording your expenses.

For those in a similar boat to me, who also get overwhelmed by this topic, I hope this is a beneficial episode for you to tune into!

TIP #88 – Practising Safe and Defensive Dentistry with Dr James Tran

Wednesday, May 25, 2022 • Duration 30:15

https://www.dentalheadstart.com/tip-88-practising-safe-and-defensive-dentistry-with-dr-james-tran/

How many times have you dreaded going in to work knowing you have a certain procedure in your books, or gone home thinking if what you did was the right thing. No doubt most of us have experienced this and would love to keep these days to a minimum.

In this episode, Graeme speaks with James about practising safe and defensive dentistry and what this means in your daily practice. Everyone is happy when you are having fun and doing the dentistry you enjoy doing. Predictability while you’re practising reduces your headaches so you can go to work more relaxed and go home without having to worry about the day's work.

A career in dentistry affords many advantages, including an above-average earning capacity from the outset.

Since TIME has the greatest long-term impact on returns on investment, these early few years represent a window that shouldn’t be missed if we want to take full advantage of the opportunity to leverage our investments over time.

On this podcast featuring Dr Rohan Krishnan, we discuss the smart moves that young dentists can make early in their careers to unlock the lifestyle they aspire to.
