I can’t believe how fast the time has gone as we are already in November. It’s been a few weeks since we started preclinic sessions again and I’ve learnt so much throughout them. We also had two sessions on perio where we revised basic perio hand instrumentation, indirect vision, sharpening and use of the ultrasonic. Read More…

I was actually very happy to be starting preclinic again, even if that included waking up earlier than usual. I thoroughly enjoyed the last 3 weeks of preclinic, where every session we did something different- posterior restorations, pulpotomies and placement of SSCs which I found very fun to do and I also learned so much Read More…

The last few weeks went so fast, I didn’t even realise that we were already at the end of first semester and close to exams. I’ve actually really enjoyed studying from home. It’s starting to get colder now, and so I am glad I’m not having to travel to and from uni in this weather Read More…

At the beginning of online learning it felt very different and very chaotic with so many lectures and activities to do everyday.

The transition to face-to-face to online classes was very unexpected for me, as I never imagined we would be having to do such as thing.  It was very surreal last Friday, as we said goodbye to our teachers and friends at uni as if it was the last time and we weren’t going to meet Read More…

This week, since the days were warm and sunny, it was easier to wake up every morning to come to uni. Today I finally got to see my first patient in the morning (as well as 2 more in the afternoon in perio clinic)- a paedo patient. She was a friendly 13 year old and Read More…

Last Friday we got a chance to practice LA on each other. While signing up for it, I was a bit nervous and not sure of what to be expecting. But after having it done, I feel happy that I got to experience what it’s like to have LA done and what it feels like Read More…
