What I mean by that is, you went on a course to learn about how to be a more careful dentist, how to follow appropriate radiography guidelines or cross infection protocols, that kind of stuff. The stuff that's not sexy, unfortunately, right? \n\n\n\nJaz's Introduction:Let's face it, you know, it's a composite veneers. That's where we gonna go on. But you know, this is super, super important stuff. And today's episode which we streamed live to Facebook. So thank you, Dr. Lucy Nichols, for being part of that live. And so we do have a few shoutouts here and there. And thanks to all of you who joined live on Facebook, it's on the Protrusive Dental Podcast facebook page, if you're not part of it already. Occasionally we do the live and it was a great episode. These are the 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE. And where they stem from is Lucy Nichols who is a general dentist, she does some dental legal work. And as part of seeing lots of cases, she saw a pattern that dentists, us dentist we're getting in trouble. And were tumbling down as easy victims, booby traps, were falling into these obvious errors, which she wanted to share with you to make sure that we can be SAFER DENTISTS and avoid getting claims and having legal troubles. So, hopefully you'd like all these 10 Commandments by Lucy, so I only knew the first one and I loved it so much. I said, 'Okay, come on. Let's do the podcast, tell me the other nine.' So, we'll share them all with you.\n\n\n\nThe Protrusive Dental Pearl:The Protrusive Dental Pearl I want to share with you before we get to that main episode is kind of related to the first thing I said in my introduction, which is DO WE MAKE TIME FOR THE RIGHT TYPE OF CPD? And on that topic of time, let's take a step back right? MAKING TIME. We all have just 24 hours a day, every single one of us whether you're Richard Branson, or Rishi Sunak, the new Prime Minister of the UK, I try not to get into politics. So, I'll stay away from that one.
