Ever had a patient crack a joke about their dentures? I had one who said his were like a bad ex — always popping out at the worst times… It’s funny how humor helps ease the tension during fittings, but there’s something comforting about knowing we can bring a smile, even amid the challenges of restoration.
I think it’s like riding a bike — you’ll wobble a bit at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be cruising! When I pivoted to remote work, I created mock lessons to highlight my teaching skills, which totally helped in interviews. @derekf90, have you thought about showcasing your adaptability since it’s a big plus for these roles?
It’s true, humor can be a lifesaver during fittings! I’ve had patients compare their dentures to annoying siblings — always getting in the way but you can’t help loving them. What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard in the chair?
