Hi all, I'm Patricia and I'm happy to be here

[PatriUCLA]

Hi all,
I'm Patricia and I'm in the US because I'm graduating in dentistry at UCLA University (Los Angeles, CA) but I'm from Kiev (Ukraine).
First thing first, please, forgive my english ... sometimes I do silly grammar mistakes.
As future dentist I will have to deal with patients panic and anxiety so I think I'm in the right place to learn more about people fears. At the same time, I really hope my posts will be helpful to somebody.
That's all ... see you around :)

Hi Patricia,

Nice to see another dentist on the site, I'm Swedish but live in the UK, soon to be back in Australia. Don't worry about your English and grammar the people I've been lucky enough to speak with really do not notice these things. You will get used to peoples anxiety in the chair its about how relaxed you make your patient feel and explaining to them what you are doing in more depth that has always worked for myself!!!
