Even if it’s uncomfortable, that’s where you grow.”“You’re not born with great hand skills — you earn them through repetition and practice.”“In interviews, connect through who you are — your hobbies, your quirks, your story. That’s how you become memorable.”“If it doesn’t feel safe, don’t do it. Never compromise safety for speed or convenience.”“Sometimes patients don’t see your intentions, but your responsibility is to do what’s right, not what’s easy.”“Breathing exercises changed my life. When you can control your breathing, you can control your state of mind.”“Practice, practice, practice — that’s life in surgery and in success. It’s how bad you want it.”“Be genuine, be helpful, be humble — that’s how you stand out in residency, externships, and life.”Questions:(00:42) “How’s the job been so far since finishing residency?”(02:10) “Do you like doing full-arch or All-on-X implant cases?”(03:20) “What’s your all-time favorite procedure to perform?”(06:42) “Any tips or advice for lower molar surgical extractions?”(10:17) “What’s the longest and most complex procedure you’ve done?”(13:33) “Any advice for residency interviews — especially ‘Tell me about yourself’?”(20:05) “How do you manage long work hours, stress, and finding time to study?”(31:28) “How do you handle undergrad or dental school stress while staying motivated?”(43:22) “What’s your dream job outside of dentistry?”Now available on:- Dr. Gallagher’s Podcast & YouTube ChannelMy watch in this episode = Citizen Promaster Diver Day Date- 10.2025#podcast #dentalpodcast #doctor #dentist #dentistry #oralsurgery #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudent #dentistlife #oralsurgeon #doctorgallagher
