Essential nutrition for the dental professional
We don’t realize how many hours of nutrition we get in our college training. There’s so much more about nutrition than vitamin D.
Dr. Uche Odiatu has a great recall to be able to reference books, which gives him credibility with patients. He says that a moment in time with emotion allows you to remember. A different way of looking at something can be magical and the miracle of change.
There are a lot of so-called experts out there like Dr. ChatGPT, which can create chaos and confusion. In his course from RDH Under One Roof, he gives tips to sift through the noise and focus on the fundamentals so you won’t get lost in the weeds. This will help dental professionals to feel more empowered at chairside.
