The first EVER ‘Prospective’ episode of Protrusive – I interviewed new-grad Dr Triman Ahluwalia in 2023, then again 7 months later in 2024 to see how he gets on with his first year as a *real* Dentist 😉
We uncover what it feels to be a freshly qualified Dentist, the pressures and fears that come with procedures such as endo and surgical extractions, but what we can do as growing clinicians to overcome these hurdles.
This episode is packed with lots of top tips to help you in your journey from the ground up, or as a reminder for those that have been there and done that, that we are forever learning on our journey and there’s always something out there to help us become better Dentists.
