The most challenging thing I experienced was taking out teeth from a child with cerebral palsy. He couldn’t speak, but there was so much fear in his eyes; so much pain in his eyes…. We did the right thing, but it takes something from you

Listen .. man.. I hear you … Cancer is…the worst affliction. I’ve seen it close up. It tears a human being apart; their body destroys itself. Cancer treatment sometimes is worse than the disease. I totally understand if someone opts to not go through that horrific experience.

Damn! Thanks for this. It paints a grim picture of our collective preparedness to handle climate change crises after being in the know about it for as long as we have. Too much virtue signaling and not enough actual action

This is about cancer .. and treatment options for cancer. Take some time and walk through a cancer treatment center. Maybe in your country they look posh and nice… look up the ones in Africa. You see people suffering more from chemo than from the cancer.. You witness the meaning

If the government is unable to run the intern program, let them either close it down or outsource it. While they might not see the need for health workers, we the ordinary people see it.

Context is key. When someone disagrees with you, they are essentially challenging your position. So if the parent says , don’t go out, the child says no; they have challenged your stance… With children, lines are very blurry… they are learning… so if you let them have their
You ever look at yourself in the mirror and think to yourself, what if I am toxic? What if I am bad? What if I am the villain in all their stories? What if I am the problem!!!

Toothpaste is a drug that most people use the wrong way, which is why it doesn’t give the results they are looking for.
For starters, spit but don’t rinse!
I once rode a boda in the rain for 30 minutes..paid twice the ordinary fare ,to get to work. And then I asked myself, is it worth the sacrifice?? Answer..it's not. Health first(mental, physical, emotional)...work second.
You turn-up 10min late and get yelled at by your boss in front of the entire office but you will never get a thank you for staying behind or carrying work home to beat deadlines.
Moral: don't over-sacrifice yourself, your good deeds are quickly forgotten.
And when nobody wakes you up in the morning and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want , what do you call it? Freedom or loneliness?

No one determines the sex of a child!! Saying the father determines it makes it seem like he has a say in which chromosome will fertilize the egg!! It’s a game of chance!!
I’ve probably done about 1000 root canals. (It’s a relatively small number btw). If there’s two things people ought to know; it’s this;
1– Root canal treatment, done well, is technically not a painful procedure. No one can say otherwise.
2– Root canal treatment is not

Dear young man,
You are struggling to be something in this life; struggling to be a good son, a good brother. struggling to be a good man to a woman who will never accept you.. Know this; that if things don’t work out, one day , you will die and they won’t matter anymore.

Once, client has his tooth exactly like this! Painless; he couldn’t even remember ever feeling pain in it. We took a 3D X-ray , which is like a “CT scan” ; found a cyst about 11cm in largest diameter!! This would need oral surgery to take out: point is, if you ever see your tooth
If you fell down sometime ago or had a blow to your face and the colour of one or more of your front teeth has now changed to this or a similar colour, that tooth is de*d until proven otherwise.

I always wondered why they were called wisdom teeth. Having graduated in my trade, and having suffered several times, I eventually realized that they are called so because they require a lot of wisdom to take out!!

I would go as far as saying that democracy is more often than not an impediment to economic growth… An honest autocracy would do wonders; granted certain freedoms will be sacrificed, but it’s worth the cost

To my beloved dental interns, do your best to learn..above all, remember that before you’re a doctor, you’re a human being.
PRESS RELEASE: All medical interns are expected to report to their various training centers by 3 August 2023.

I like the nuanced nature of this whole discussion… it illustrates perfectly the nuances of parenting/relationships… the inapplicability of absolutes!! 🤝
One key to thing I won’t forget from this book is to “forgive oneself”. It’s so easy to go through life hating yourself because of one thing or the next… and the hardest part is forgiving yourself for that …
I’m lowkey disappointed in myself as a teacher… because A lot of you still think that when you have a cavity, you get to decide between having a filling or having a root canal… like you think it’s a coin toss thing.. No it’s not!!

I love it when a client is so worried that root canal treatment is painful and five minutes into the procedure, they are snoring peacefully… this is dentistry.

In a job interview today, and the medical superintendent said to me that it's not feasible to give people free medicine because "people don't value free things"....
It is actually pure logic. He reduced the logic of your statement to its basic form.. it’s axiom.. and used it to build a new similar argument… if you think it’s stupid, it’s probably because your logic was too…
Dear young dentist,
As you prepare to graduate, let me share one thing this Sunday. In the famous words of Ygritte the wilding, “you know nothing”. Know this and know peace. For it is the man or woman who openly admits to knowing nothing that has the courage to learn something.
@MindOfHeadking
Yep!! The dm that asks for account details always gets answered. That’s why I keep saying, life is transactional. Trade what you have for what you want and don’t put feelings in it
Kids don’t know any better, so as the parent, you owe it to them to do so! Stop blaming your kids for having cavities, saying , “I tell him to brush all the time but he doesn’t” or “I tell you to not eat sweets etc”. As a parent, you’re the first doctor! Brushing teeth shouldn’t
Advice to recently graduated dental surgeons;
You probably felt that school was hectic and that you had a ton of patients and procedures etc. Throw all that out of your head. You are currently at the bottom of the ladder. Start learning, afresh. Find a job. Take your
Do you ever wonder why dentists strap their hands like this?? Okay they really don’t; but I do…. I’ve had unhealing sprains in the wrist, elbow and thumb joints. Is the job life threatening? Absolutely!! Do I love it? Twice as much

Pediatrics is my most challenging aspect of dentistry this year. I’ve been forced to learn baby tongues, to be more patient, and mostly to work at lightning speed coz these little guys don’t have patience.
