Narrative excerpt from dental/dental hygiene trainee

Dental/dental hygiene trainees discuss pain and social determinants of health. (2023)

Yeah, unfortunately, in the last month or two months, three or four of my patients had to go to the emergency clinic. They were in such severe pain, two of them, one had a root canal and it broke. One had an extraction and then two others had root canals. And it is sad to know that they came earlier, when they were assigned it could have been saved better.
