A message from Dr. Sanjukta: "I used to struggle with restorative dentistry which made me feel like a loser dentist. I was embarrassed about my work and I didn't think I would get better. I went to the Garrison booth at a dental meeting and told Stephanie Hicks about my struggles. She happily gave me advice which I implemented the next day. I immediately started doing better restorations and I learned to love dentistry and myself. Now I encourage my colleagues to also use Garrison products to solve their restorative issues and be happier dentists."
