#129- Boy Interrupted - Adam Naughton

Adam Naughton is one of the thousands of dental students whose academic life was rudely interrupted by the COVID pandemic.

 

In his fourth year of study, he’s yet to get hands-on with impressions, crowns, root canal and other treatments.

 

But that hasn’t stopped Andrew from putting his name out there and finding his niche on social media early on. His Positive Smile Club Instagram channel pitches five questions on dentistry, mindset and self-development to both new and established names in the profession.

 

Adam chats about dental school, his Instagram channel and hopes for the future, and reveals his own answers to Positive Smile Club’s five questions.
