What the NHS Can Teach US Dentists (Even If You'd Never Work in It)

The UK dental system is a mess. And honestly? It's a fascinating one.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what NHS dentistry actually looks like from the inside. The volume, the underfunding, the burnout, and the gap between what dentists want to do for patients and what the system lets them. Sound familiar?

Here's what we get into:

  • Why Dr. Jawad stepped back from the NHS path
  • What young dentists in the UK are facing right now
  • How patient volume pressure affects the way care gets delivered
  • Why the system is creating frustration for both dentists and patients
  • The reality of affordability and access to care
  • Why some communities are being hit harder than others
  • How private practice is becoming part of the bigger conversation
  • What AI and technology may change in the years ahead
  • Whether UK dentistry is moving toward a more US-style model
  • What all of this means for the next generation of dentists

If you've ever felt like the system was working against you instead of with you, this one's going to feel like validation. And maybe a little inspiration.
