Getting better at extractions?
New grad starting in July going into work with my dad who has been a dentist for 30+ years. Coming out of dental school I feel generally pretty good at getting teeth out, but have had my ass handed to me a couple of times in dental school and had to go to residents with my tail between my legs. I would say about 80-90% of the time I can get a tooth out in a couple of minutes no problem. We weren’t allowed to do surgical extractions so I have no experience with those. My father doesn’t do a whole lot of exts because he doesn’t like to and is busy enough without them, but does them occasionally.
I want to be that guy that goes into any ext room with the confidence that I can get it done, but right now I’m not that guy. I know confidence comes with doing it, but was wondering if there is any way you guys have broadened your surgical skill set without just winging it??
Also has anyone else felt this way coming out of school??
