- Military dentist currently enrolled in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry 2 year program.
I've often felt over the years, that much of what everyone does in their jobs is learned - not from books - but by someone showing them a tip/hint - just a little something that makes a specific task easier. You need the basics - hands down.
Hence a place to share what I've learned and what others - learn - with you. Useful techniques, ideas, opinions, people that have a place to share what they know. I hope that you can surf away from this site and at least have gained one hint.
I hope that you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Kind regards,
Ashley
