Remember that being a member of the dental team doesn't mean treating patient as a "Mouth". Rather, you need to treat him/ her as a respected human being, who has the right to discuss, agree and receive the best treatment. You should look at patient's health in general, and not only his oral health. Your treatment must be evidence-based. Consider referring to other colleagues whenever required. 2. Prevention comes first. Always keep in mind that practicing dentistry in your clinic shouldn't keep you away from reaching out to the wider community. Participation in oral health education and prevention activities is a core element in provision of good health services.
