This post beautifully reflects the highs and lows of a budding dentist. I too have had similar experiences. It’s absolutely correct that soft skills, apart from our clinical expertise, can take us a long way in the healthcare industry. Cheers to new learnings!!! ---

Patience is one of the most important quality that a dentist should have. We work with patients who might be anxious, in pain or be afraid. Demonstrating patience helps build trust, improves treatment outcomes, and therefore enhances the overall experience. ---

Loved the honesty in this. As an orthodontist, I rarely get the dramatic RCT-on-a-pregnant-patient moments but I have my own version like patients who show up mid treatment convinced their teeth aren’t moving “the way they should” and you realise half the job is managing fear and not force vectors. Curious how you handle that kind of in chair anxiety on your end. 😅 [Previous page](https://www.medboundhub.com/t/a-3-month-memoir-of-the-clinical-journey-in-2026-as-an-assosciate-dentist/17328.md?page=1)
