🦷🧠 With dental school rapidly coming to an end, I'm feeling nostalgic for these past four years. I wanted to sit down and dive into my three favorite moments from dental school to relive them with all of you. These are three times in which it all felt worth it. This process has been difficult from the start, but I have reassured throughout my time in school that I am in the right place doing the right thing. Let's take a walk down memory lane!

I'm glad you can find some kind of solace in your career choice, using a perspective shift to kind of reframe where you are now and from where started off from must be a good coping mechanism for you. As for me, I'm kind of done. Confused, angry, running on fumes, getting older and health is declining; without reaching any normal milestones. So far, being out of school and working has shown me the ugly side of people, and I'm sure my coworkers hate my guts too. Worst thing is I suck at my job, and have no intention of improving my skills as I have no passion for it. Trapped and feeling like death is the only escape now. I have no positive memories of my years in schooling- just tons of snakes, people who would just drop you under a bus to get ahead. Worst thing is, I can only really blame myself. I'm so weak I'm not even able to do anything else- I would literally be a NEET if I wasn't working, as I have no marketable skills. All I wanted to do was visual art/animation/film but my parents didn't treat me like a human- they just forced whatever dream they had onto me. Plus with the advent of and development of AI visual art is not a culturally relevant thing anymore and no one cares for it. So I'm now stuck in a career I hate with a set of skills that are half-baked, and my mind somewhere in the ether from all the trauma. My core memory of school is just this black bitter mass, nauseating to the point of triggering this acrid taste at the back of my throat in its most stressful moments, and isolating and hopelessly dull (knowing no one- not my colleagues nor my professors have a shred of care in their hearts) in its least stressful. If I knew how I would be feeling now 10 years ago, I probably would have ended it. Still contemplating it now, but I'm a coward as stated earlier. Also lol on those crown preps, I feel are way too tapered incisally, lucky they're lithium disilicate and you can just resin-bond them. The result doesn't lie though. the soft-tissue contours and the final esthetic outcome looks great. Did you use a single or double cord retraction for the impression? I'm sure your patient was very happy with frankly a night- and- day transformation. Must've felt so much more comfortable too.

Thank you for your comment, my friend. I’m happy you’re here. Find Jesus Christ, and you will find THE reason to live. I know you may have heard that before, but start asking some questions about Him and see if you can find some answers. You may just find yourself falling in love and finding the greatest reason to live a human could ever ask for. Whether or not you know or realize this, you are loved eternally, and you are cared for. He is there and wants to know you. It’ll just take a little bit of effort on your part to seek Him out. And I am always here to help. PS: I completely agree about those crown preps! They were some of my first ever on a live patient and I wouldn’t taper them that much these days!

@@stephenraydentist You learn the best from cases where you reflect and go- I could've improved this and that, but for first crown preps the final result looks great, regardless. You did four crowns in a single day- so having to think about axial/occlusal reduction, avoiding undercuts, margin design, shade, material selection, designing the crowns and ethetic features- really I was being a little nitpicky on a single feature I saw in a single photo you took. I dislike esthetic cases (more than other procedures) but I'm sure you'd be a great dentist once you leave school. In the US, patients are more knowledgeable/expecting of indirect work and implant supported work, so if you enjoy this stuff, then you'll be golden. Are there any further areas of study you think you may delve into in the future? Probably not perio from your comments in this video... Also I always appreciate the work of lab techs, my course lacked a strong lab component, but the silver lining to that is I am happy to rely on the support from my lab staff. I literally wouldn't be able to do half my cases without them.

Fantastic video. I’ve loved how you have been so transparent in your vids. I’m starting dental school in fall 2024 and you have been a huge inspiration! I’m hoping to vlog my experience as you have. Can you tell me what software you use to edit your vids?
