Dentist

I interviewed the dentist at Elanora Shops and I learnt these things:- The dentist studied for 5 years before becoming a dentist. He has 3 staff and they get approximately 75 patients a week.

Their work hours are: Monday 8-5, Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday 8-6, Friday 8-5 and Saturday 8-11.

They use a chair, drills, scalero, curing lights, camera, x-ray unit, autoclaves and evacuation units. They examine and clean teeth, they fill damaged and decayed teeth, crown teeth and fit dentures.

The other jobs that need doing are nursing, cleaning and sterilizing, ordering and reception work which includes accounting, answering phones and maintaining computer records.

The dentist has no specialties and loves helping people out of painful or unpleasant dental surgery.

When asked whether he has had any unusual incidents whilst at work he replied by saying: "Yes, I once was operating on this man for several weeks but I was not aware of his occupation until my wife and I went to the movies and saw his face (teeth and all) on the screen! I didn't know that he was a quite well known actor! "
