Case description

When the patient feels pain during an ID block. When a matrix does not seal the cavity perfectly. When the shade of your crown doesn’t blend as well as you would like. When the endo you did last year failed. All of these cause us anxiety. All of these are failures in some form, and as Dentists, it eats at us.

Let’s admit it: we are perfectionists. Life isn’t about being perfect, but it is all to do with the effort we apply to better ourselves day to day. Failure is a major part of success, but being hung up on our shortcomings will only lead to a downward spiral, which in turn will affect our results and general practice.

In this episode, Stop Being a Perfectionist - it's OK to Fail, we are joined by Dr Marco Maiolino, all the way from beautiful Sicily, Italy. One of the biggest takeaways from my chat with Marco was the abolishment of the ‘gold standard’ or the standard of perfection - but rather, let’s aim for the ‘daily standard’

Protrusive Dental Pearl: We cannot be depressed AND grateful at the same time. Let us find moments in our day and in our Dentistry to be grateful.
