Dental School Clinical Survival Guide

This dental school clinical guide was assembled by students for students. Over the years we have compiled information from different schools, lectures, workshops, tips, and personal experiences on how to make the transition from classroom to patient as easy as possible. Our guide will give you the basics - step by step advice on organization, techniques, and procedures we wish we had known about when we first came into clinic. Sometimes in the complexities of dentistry, the fundamentals are lost. This guide will get you started. It will get you organized. Add to it, adjust it and make it your own - everyone will develop his or her own style. We are constantly updating and adding information but you'll soon realize that there is no one perfect way to do things so use this guide as a reference to help steer you in the right direction. We hope this guide helps you make the most of your time in clinic.
