I moved to Finland about 11 years ago, 8 years in dental tech. I could say im dental tech in the making? I´m doing removables the same way a REAL technitian would make. Every dentist I work with think i
m a REAL technitian because i do and know everything a REAL technitian would do/know. I know i have a lot to learn still.
I forgot to mention in the podcast that i love the dentists that i work with! They want to learn and if some things are fcked, i know how to fix them! So its just live and learn! If a lab just does the work without asking anything, there will be no progress. But usually when i get a bad impression, my first thought isn
t ”well fck you too”, its ”ohh honey, you poor thing…. AGAIN!” And then i
ll just call or send an e-mail and well just get another impression and all will be good again! It
s like i know im not perfect every time and i cannot wait the dentists to be also perfectomundo! We
re all human beings! Its like when you get a good relationship with a dentist, all the little mistakes from both sides are gonna be easy-peasy! I had a dentist who called me and told me that ”I don
t know what im doing and this whole thing is so fcked up that i
ll throw the whole sht out of the window!!!!” :D :D And then i calmed her down and reassured that we`ll get through this together :) Live, laugh, love all the way!
I know i might give away a bit crazy vibes :D
But the thing is, as im almost 24/7 fighting with my thoughts and my brain, the little moments when i feel ok, i want to full on feel it. I want to laugh and make stupid jokes and enjoy the good feeling. Just take it easy. Because some days it
s Carpe Diem, seize the day, you know. But then there are those Carpe fck this shit, give me a beer days.
