Next Gen: Meet Ahjeong Yoo

Dental school teaches you the technical skills, but what about the emotional reality of patient care? The weight of making decisions that affect someone's smile, their confidence, their daily life - and doing it all whilst you're still learning the ropes.
This is Next Gen, where we sit down with dental students preparing for the transition from textbooks to real-world practice. In this episode, we're exploring the human side of dentistry with Ahjeong Yoo, a fourth-year dental student at Sydney University and president of SUDA. Ahjeong opens up about her unique emotional connection to her patients' teeth, the challenge of saying "no" when you're a people-pleaser, and why she chose restoration over extraction - even when it's not always the easiest path.
