• ORAL HEALTH EDUCATORS IN PRACTICE & SUMMIT DEBRIEF

  Ben and Claire have a quick debrief from the summit, talking about Dr Megan Rossi who discussed the gut microbiome and they talk about how this can be used in practice. Following this they answer a listeners query about oral health educators in practice. This listener is doing her course and worries that she will not be used after she has completed it. She asks Your Dental Besties how she can make sure she is best used. Do you have anything to add to their answer? Comment with how you think and OHE can be used.

• BEST BITS- FUNNIES & ANALOGIES

  We let Ben have a holiday this week so here is a best bits special episode.Team YDB have mashed together some funnies, some cringe stories and some best bits to brighten up your commute to work this Monday. There's only one way to describe the content in this episode and that is...... you guys are dirty little rat bags! But we all love it so don't stop.Team YDB also added the bit where Ben and Claire talk about Claire's favourite topic- ANALOGIES. She said she'd write a book and so she did it. You heard it here on the podcast first in the analogies episode, when the idea to write the book was created. You can find her book on Amazon ('A Little Book of Analogies'). It would be so good if you could send the team here at YDB your favourite analogies and we will do a part 2 where we read out the ones our listeners use.

• GIVING PATIENTS BAD NEWS & WORKING WHEN YOU ARE SICK

  Ben isn't well recording this weeks episode, but he still made it happen. It started a conversation about coming into work sick. Would you phone in and cancel the day when you are ill? And how ill do you have to be? A listener writes in about being shy in giving patients the bad news about disease. They felt like they are too nice and struggle to tell patients. What do Claire and Ben say about this? Do you have anything to add?They then turn to the topic of NHS appointments and how to work in this system when appointments are short. We all know this is not ideal, but it is some peoples reality. Ben and Claire discuss the avoidance of doubt principle. Disclaimer: Claire and Ben haven't worked in an NHS system, so please look at the avoidance of doubt document for more info. See link below.B0615-Update-to-avoidance-of-doubt-provision-of-phased-treatments-300621-.pdfTo finish, this episode was recorded on World Mental Health day, so please reach out to friends and colleagues and ask how they are. Let's look out for each other, when dentistry is an industry often known for burnout. Take care of each other
