Topic: Young Graduates : Aspiring to Advance into Dental Career

The dental profession holds a special and unique position of respect and trust in the society. Members of the public entrust their oral health and general well-being to practitioners. In this day and age, while Dentistry becomes more multi-faceted and sophisticated, the dental profession continues to make a commitment to adhere to the highest ethical standards of conduct.

Dental practitioners not only have the necessary knowledge, skills, technical competence, and experience of dental practice but uphold the highest standards of integrity, dignity and intellectual honesty. We are expected to treat our patients with compassion, dignity, respect and without prejudice of race, religion, disability, social standing, and financial status. It is essential and imperative for practitioners to realize wholeheartedly the professional obligations and duties we owe to ourselves, the profession and the society at large.
