A lovely listener started Team Ben and Team Claire and the duo talk about how this came to be. They show us the T-shirts that Jade and Vicky created from Cwytch Study Club had made. Ben wear Gums Guy pink and Claire wears Khaki, in series 1 they said they would love scrubs in these colours. Such a lovely gesture, so a BIG THANKYOU to Vicky and Jade at Cwytch Study Club.

Ben and Claire talk about ratio's of hygienists to dentists across the globe to begin. Some of these ratio's might shock you.
They then talk about notes and how some people question if we need to write as much as we do. They talk about templates and what they write in their notes, as well as discussing how to make this process more efficient.

Thanks for EMS for supporting the show and being such a great supporter of team YDB

Ben and Claire discuss the EFP probe. Have you seen this, and would you find it useful?
Ben catches Claire off guard, and despite her protests to edit that bit out, Ben argues to keep it in, and so we took this episode off Claire so she cannot edit it. We decided it was funnier to keep the episode authentic, so team YDB kept it in!
After this blip, they discuss blood pressure and whether we should measure it in clinic. Ben orders some BP monitors for when he is in clinic. Team YDB promises to let you know how that goes in future episodes.
Ben talks about a forum he has seen about dental tourism and this leads to a conversation about dental tourism before they close the show.
