During my summer internship, I had the opportunity to observe and learn from an experienced dentist. I focused on understanding my mentor’s techniques, the materials used in treatments, and their approach to patient communication.
I closely observed how my mentor selected materials like fillings, crowns, and orthodontic tools based on patient needs. I also learned how effective communication was key in building trust, with my mentor clearly explaining procedures and addressing concerns in a calm and empathetic manner.
This experience helped me understand the importance of both technical skills and patient care, providing me with valuable insights for my future career in dentistry.
