SUB 40! 🏃🏻‍♀️

I know 39:38 isn't exactly the Olympics, but this was a big one for me.

I've never considered myself a runner. I've always been the person who says “I can't run”, and for quite a long time, I genuinely believed that.

Today I ran the whole 5K without stopping and got my first sub-40 parkrun.

A few weeks ago I was taking little walking breaks when I needed them, slowly trying to build up my fitness and convince my legs that we could, in fact, keep going.

And I think that's what I'm most pleased about. Not really the number on the screen, but proving to myself that even at 30 something, I can still decide to get better at something I've never been particularly good at, if I put my mind to it. It probably helps that I'm stubborn too! 🫣

We put so many limits on ourselves because of what we've always been able to do, or because we think perhaps we've left it a bit late to start. Turns out sometimes you just have to start badly, keep showing up and see what happens.

So I'm claiming this little win. Next target: sub-38.

And if all goes to plan… my first 10K by May. 🙏❤️

Apparently I might actually be becoming someone who runs. Who knew??

Jumping on the AI trend of what I’d have looked like in the 80s… obviously I had to make it endo!

Not sure about the technology, but the big hair can stay! 😊 What do you guys think??

3rd September 2020.

I was nearing the end of my clinical teaching for my MSc in Endodontics with simplyendo, and I think this was one of our first introductions to using the dental microscope.

Fast-forward six years and it’s something I now use without really thinking about, every single day- even for my consultations!

I’ll never forget the first time I used a microscope to do a root canal treatment. First on plastic blocks, then on extracted teeth, and eventually on actual human beings.

I remember being quite surprised by just how steep the learning curve was. Suddenly I was working through indirect vision, everything felt unfamiliar, and I genuinely remember thinking, “I’m never going to get the hang of this.”

Clearly 2020 me knew I needed the encouragement: zoom in on the notebook 😂

But I persevered.

Something that once felt uncomfortable and quite daunting has become such a natural part of my everyday work that I now struggle to imagine practising without it.

Looking back at these photos is a lovely reminder that everyone starts somewhere. The things that feel difficult at the beginning don’t always stay that way. You practise, you learn, you ask for help, you keep going, and one day you realise you’re doing without thinking something you once thought you’d never get the hang of.

I’ll never forget those early days of my endodontic journey, and I’m very grateful to simplyendo for providing the training and foundations that helped me along the way.

Six years later, there are plenty of other things I’m learning that still feel difficult or uncomfortable. I suppose the difference now is that I know that feeling doesn’t necessarily mean “I can’t do this.” Sometimes it just means we’re in uncharted territory, and with careful planning, advice from more experienced colleagues and a little faith in ourselves, we can usually find our way through it.

Maybe 2020 me had it right after all…

“You totally got this.” 😂
Persistence really is key. ❤️

I've had quite a few repeat offenders recently… and I mean that in the nicest possible way 🤣❤️

I'd actually treated this patient before, for root canal treatment on the other side, so it was lovely to see him again when he was referred for re-root canal treatment of his LL6.

This one was just a really enjoyable retreatment. Old GP removed, patency regained, canals cleaned and shaped, lots of irrigation and then obturated with bioceramic sealer and warm vertical compaction.

Nothing particularly weird. No octopus anatomy. Just a nice bit of endo that I thoroughly enjoyed.

But it did get me thinking about something I sometimes miss about working in general practice.

When I worked in the NHS, I looked after some patients and families for years. I remember watching one patient go through her GCSEs, A-levels, get a boyfriend, get married and eventually have a baby, who I also saw for their first ever check up! You really became part of their journey and it's wonderful.

Referral practice is a little different. Often we see someone for one tooth, get them comfortable, finish their treatment and send them back to their dentist, and that's the last we see of them.

So when somebody comes back and trusts me to treat another tooth, it actually means quite a lot. It's not just the technical skills our patients trust, it's also the relationship we build with them over time.

A nice root canal is always satisfying.

But knowing a patient had a great experience the first time round and chose to come back again? That's pretty lovely too. ❤️

You know when you finish a root canal, look at the radiograph and think… nope. I’m doing that bit again.

This was a lovely interdisciplinary case with one of my restorative colleagues, they took care of the restorative work and I did the root canal treatment.

Four canals located, with the MB2 joining the MB.

When I first obturated the palatal canal, I looked at the radiograph and just wasn't completely happy with it.

So I redid the warm vertical.

And actually, the second attempt helped me appreciate that there was some more unusual anatomy within the palatal canal than I'd initially realised.

I think that's one of the things I still love about endodontics. Even when you do root canals every day, teeth can still surprise you.

I guess I wanted to share this particularly for the younger dentists out there, or anyone starting out in their career: there's absolutely no harm in stopping, reassessing and doing something again if you're not happy with it.

In my experience, patients and referring dentists really appreciate the extra time and effort you put in to get things just right.

For the endo geeks:

P 30/.04
MB + DB 25/.04
MB2 20/.04 → joining MB

5.25% NaOCl throughout, 17% EDTA as penultimate rinse with passive ultrasonic activation, Edge Bioceramic Thermal Flow sealer and warm vertical compaction.

Clearfil dual-cure composite core to finish.

Maybe the Type A tendencies aren't always a bad thing. 😅
