Working with teenagers and as a dentist requires patience Teenagers have different abilities so patience is an asset

As a coach and a dentist, you often need to problem-solve Not all issues that teenagers come up against are easy to solve but trying to circumvent or overcome those issues and then help the pupil to adapt will be rewarding and of great benefit to the pupil

As a coach and the owner of a dental practice, you have to become a leader It's one of the tasks to motivate and encourage your team to move in the same direction with a common goal If you can help lead teenagers on a common path and try and let them see what they can do it will be rewarding for all those involved

In dentistry I have undergone child welfare training and attended courses on how to recognize signs of abuse, both physical and emotional;
