Dentists were advised to avoid all elective procedures during this lockdown to reduce the risk of infection transmission of COVID-19.

The era of work from home allows the dentist to do everything from home other than work. This has turned out to be the luxury for only the millennials.

So many dental students and dentists are at home winning the Ludo Olympics.

Are you using your time productively?

Whilst taking a break is important, it is mandatory to use this time to prepare for hospitals and clinics which shall resume in the near future. We need to efficiently use the time to invest in our craft to be able to achieve our personal best. Time management is the way we utilize our time to be able to maximize our productivity in achieving significant long-term goals. Either you run the day or the day runs you.

This break from your clinical practice shall give you time to sit back and catch up with the recent advancements in dentistry. Many countries require dental professionals to complete continuing education credits per year to maintain their licenses and improvise their knowledge to continue practicing.

You can choose from innumerable webinars available online. IBM has found out that participants learn five times more material in online learning courses using multimedia content rather than traditional teaching methods.
