I just thought I’d write with a quick blog update:
This week has been the best in terms of hits we’ve had for a while with over 130 hits a day. I take it this means that people like seeing my clinical work. I will therefore try to keep adding it when I can. However I am very aware of the need to consent patients properly and to discuss cases tactfully. As Matt said in a recent comment we must not criticise the work of others too much and must be honest about our own abilities and limitations; I hope that so far we have done this.
It’s a fine line to walk and I did consider making the clinical pages members only. I guess I just feel that we have nothing to be ashamed of and that I would welcome the public reading this blog. I hope if they understand dentistry more they will appreciate the importance of it and seeing a dentist with your best interests at heart. I hope that I am proved right in this but I would ask all readers to help me sensor the blog and let me know if ever the conversations become inappropriate.
You may also notice I’ve taken down the courses page from the top of the site. This is becasue most courses being added were links to porn sites or casinos (Yes I blame Zaid too but I just can’t stop him). Instead I’ve updated all the link section (right toolbar) from the blog to include them and will add more as needed. I’ve also updated business sites and blog links.
I hope you don’t mind me saying this again but I don’t accept any money for putting links on the site they are there as a useful reference alone and if Ive included them it’s becasue I think they are worth a look. Oh and by the way you cheeky gits I have actually been offered some sponsor money once or … well once but I don’t go looking for any or I’m sure I would!
Finally I’d like to invite you all to join the rather wonderful incidental facebook fan page… 180 members and counting. Just one of the many (4 ways) you can get updates on when the blog changes (but you have to come here direct to see the comments), see the subscription options on the right tool bar for more details.
Also check out the Inci-dental musings on the right tool bar for hilarious (ly bad) audio blogs I make from time to time.
Please especially listen to the Thanks readers Link, as I really do mean it. I love writing the blog and have been doing so for nearly 10 months now but, i think, even a complete looser like me would find it hard to keep going without any interaction.
All the best
Chris

Hi, Chris!
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and because of this lovely thank-you audio, here’s a little comment.
I’m a 3rd year dental student right now, very little clinical experience on my side! [baby dentists they say] Nevertheless your blog is very inspirational and I think your enthusiasm about dentistry is infecting us [the readers] through your posts.
Best of luck!

Agnieszka that has to be just about the best compliment I have ever recieved.
Thank you for taking the time to write!
Don’t let your enthusiasm die whatever you do, it’s a great job and the sky is the limit. The fun is in trying to get better every day and that doesn’t change if your 3rd year, about to sit finals or slogging away in a little room as an associate.
Where are you studying BTW? I hope your in Newcastle, I’m sure you will have great success!
Chris
P.S. Jonathan, A real dog cannot fit in a handbag!

No problem, one deserves a compliment once in a while. I hear the key to success is to enjoy what you’re doing- I’m trying to follow this principle.
Newcastle – with all respect but no way! Dundee is where it’s all happening these days. I bet you’ve been here for a field day.
