The journey to finding one's true calling can be as intricate as the work itself. For Carmel Vickers-Wall, a clinical dental technician from the UK, this journey began at the tender age of 16. Initially stepping into the dental field as a nurse, Carmel's path has been marked by a series of pivotal decisions that have led her to a fulfilling career that beautifully marries her artistic talents with her passion for patient care. In our latest podcast episode, Carmel shares her story, offering listeners an inside look into the world of dental technology and the unique role of a clinical dental technician. From her early days of doodling horror-themed art in school to contemplating a career in law, Carmel's path was anything but straightforward. It was a chance suggestion from her dentist that set her on a course towards the dental field, where she discovered a passion for helping patients and a love for the artistry involved in crafting dentures. Carmel's journey is a testament to the power of meeting the right people and making the right choices. Her decision to pursue an apprenticeship as a dental nurse allowed her to gain invaluable experience and insight into the dental world, ultimately leading her to the realization that her true passion lay in dental technology. The transition wasn't easy, but Carmel's determination and artistic flair have set her apart in the field. In the episode, Carmel discusses the importance of proper impressions and patient communication, sharing tips and tricks that can benefit both dental professionals and patients alike. Her emphasis on setting realistic expectations and her dedication to patient care are evident in every aspect of her work.

This week is no different as we bring you two fantastic interviews we did during our visit at the DLAT (Dental Laboratory Association of Texas) conference we were at back in April. We sat down with:

-Jim and Samantha Emmons. Jim (CDT) talks about how much of his career has been teaching and inventing and some of the amazing stuff he has come up with and still coming up with. He talks about a non-aerosol spray on glaze and a way to do a shade analysis with a smart phone. Be sure to check out Spectrafire.com to learn more.

-Mac Perry from San Antonio leaves a great "First Impression" and talks about learning about dental technology in the Air Force, going to Saudi Arabia, and then settling down at his own lab. An amazing experience worth sharing.

Be sure to check out DLAT.org to see all the AMAZING things the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas is doing. Come next year to their AWESOME conference where these interviews were recorded at!

Special Guests: Jim Emmons CDT, FNBC and Mac Perry.
