Today, I welcome Dr. Jaz Gulati, host of the Protrusive Dental Podcast. He is a general dentist who has privately practiced in Singapore and now, the UK. In his practice, he especially enjoys ortho restorative dentistry and conservative Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) management.
For the third episode in the Noobie and Friends series, we talk about TMD, bruxism, and occlusal appliances. Dr. Jaz shares his splints decision making workflow as well as tips for how to develop consistent manual dexterity and how to find a healthy work life balance.
