these are amazing tips!!! i’ve worked as a dental assistant for a few years and establishing a relationship with your nervous patients makes them so much more comfortable! if a patient seems nervous prior to a procedure i love to ask them what their plans are for the day to help them put their thoughts somewhere else. some patients will outright tell me they are scared and i will wall them through the whole procedure and what to expect before we begin and helps a lot!!
Yes! That is an amazing tip! I have loved working with patients with dental anxiety because I love getting to transform the way they view going to the dentist. 😍

Just got my timetable for D2 and we have so much clinic hours as we missed seeing our 1st patient towards the end of D1. Exciting to see who is in the groups together roll on September 😁🇬🇧✌🏼
Brittany Watu really excited long hours though in the clinics it seems as we will be playing a lot of catchup. I just hope I get to see a patient and there isn’t another outbreak 😷 ✌🏼
I’ll be a D1 starting next month (so yea clinic are far off but time will fly), and I’ve been watching you since my college days, your tips have helped SO much along the way 🥺 thank you!
It seems like it’s a long way to go, but it will come so quickly! Congratulations on starting dental school next month! I’m so proud of you! I’m happy my tips have helped you! What kinds of videos would you like to see in the future?
Brittany Watu the hope is August but everything is still way up in the air 🤷🏻♀️just doing what I can with my typodont at the moment and doing perio case studies have been helpful
@@brittanywatu4835 Absolutely it helped👌. Generally feeling alright. Just a little worried about my skills, because our preclin labs have been shut since march😅. But definitely looking forward to it. We got to assist a little in March (then clinic closed), and I loved it😆
@@brittanywatu4835 haha, planning to improve my french vocab; spend some quality time working out and read few articles that I've been wanting to read for ages!!!
Wow, in the UK since we're students training in an NHS (national health service) dental hospital, we offer patients free treatment and I'm so glad we don't need to chase patients down regarding money 😬 great video anyway 💜
@@brittanywatu4835 Well we basically just do what's necessary to make sure they're dentally stable, but the resources may be a little limited in choice e.g. implants aren't offered (unless there's an exceptional case)- would have to provide a denture instead. Also no solely aesthetic procedures like whitening.
@@brittanywatu4835 Thank you .. you replied me😍... pls make videos on how to study effectively and how to manage time🤔 ... i am a third year dental student 😇

How do you do clinics and work??????😭
These are so many great tips! I can only imagine how it is to give anesthesia to patients. We haven’t done stab lab yet 🙈
When will you do it??
Brittany Watu not sure! We take an anesthesiology class in late November and December. So maybe when we come back in January?
Great tips britney! I'm currently in final yr...also my exams are postponed to October
Wow that is so late! What will you do in the meantime?

That is amazing! Do patients say yes to the best treatment plan then?

It was challenging, but I am glad I went through it! When I used to study, I would study until 11PM to 12AM after school.
Brittany Watu Even during your clinic years? We only have 3-4 lectures a week during D3-4 so you don't have to study much
No I studied wayyy less during D3 year and didn’t study at much during D4 year
