Extra Blog: August

Mentorship:

During my first week of school I had a show and tell for my senior project. What the show and tell was to bring an object or idea that represents your senior topic. When I went to go see my mentor and I told them I wanted to take pictures of the workplace. As I was taking the photos, my mentor gave me her business card to present it in class. It was a good thing since the computer was down but I wanted to explain more on my mentor's clinic. In her clinic she goes with her atmosphere sort of like a spa. She has these wallpapers of nature landscapes for the patients to make them feel relaxed and on the side of the wall there is a radio playing soothing music. What I also didn't know about the workplace is that whenever patients are too stressed out or they are really nervous about going to the dentist is that the chairs have built in massager. This really amazed me on how much they put a lot of thought into the workspace atmosphere. Even my mentor has a room to pray in for whoever is really religious and want to pray before going to do the procedures. Even my mentor prays or just meditate during the day to relax herself. The way how my mentor and her main nurse assistant keep the place in order is by putting the patients with the right dentist. Each dentist has their own personality when it comes to working with patients. One dentist works well with children and another works well with adults and teens.
