Ah, the things we wish we could tell our younger selves! This week, I’m chatting to the fantastic Dr. Alan Mead from Michigan, USA – better known as the host of the Very Dental Podcast. We’ve come together to talk about our top 5 things we wish we knew when we first started our dental career. Alongside the clinical gems, we’ve got great advice on maintaining top-notch mental health, nailing your priorities, and acing that elusive work-life balance.
