Episode notes
I remember being a dental student and a simple ‘check up’ could take HOURS! Then the tutor would come along and complete the observation in 30 seconds…
‘How does a routine general dental examination work in the real world?’, asks Emma, our Protrusive student.
The humble ‘check-up’ – as far as you can get from sexy before and after cases. The stuff no one is posting about on socials…until now!
Jaz and Emma dissect a ‘routine oral health exam’ and Jaz even includes a full video of a standard check-up, complete with the banter, bitewings and bad explanations! 😉
