Brought to you by the BDA, this podcast series explores the unlimited, unexpected and maybe even unknown opportunities that qualifying as a dentist open up to you. Join our host, Andrea Ogden GDP, as she chats to dental professionals from across the UK who discuss the paths they took that changed the course of their careers. Over six episodes we cover the topics that so many young dentists and undergraduates told us you wanted. We discuss everything from specialty training, starting a business, mixing up your career with non-clinical roles to undertaking FD/VT training, working with kids, the CDS and within prisons and even leaving UK clinical dentistry entirely. These are frank, honest and inspiring conversations that reveal just how much flexibility, opportunity and variety there is within the world of dentistry.

Have you thought about treating children? Or perhaps you’re pondering the prison service. Or working in the CDS? As undergraduates we learn the basics, but is it enough?
You probably already know that the community dental services perform more sedations and potentially more extractions than GDPs, but what else do you know about it? Without the experience of the more niche branches of dentistry, it’s hard to know if they’re for you.
We’re chairside with two dentists who open up about their careers, sharing the breadth of skills they gained and the challenges they met.
Join us today as we discuss this unique part of our profession.
Guests
Jinesh Thakrar, ex-prison dentist and current CDS dentist
David Drysdale, paediatric specialty registrar at GOSH and former CDS dentist.
