The other day driving in the rain I started to think about the difference between how present we are, and our ability to be effective depending on the circumstances. From being hyper-vigilant to being able to multitask, both states of mind have risks. Dentistry requires a level of precision. Whether we are brand new at something and need a way to make sure we complete all the tasks, or are so comfortable with it that we might miss something due to a lowered level of presence, reliable systems are the key.
