Anyone have good study tips? Need to learn all the Dental tools,and equipment..maybe ill try flash cards first

Just study the setup for Amalgams, composites, and a few extraction forcepts. There is no way you can learn all the dental instruments that there are. There are Hundreds of them. Every Dr. has his favorite instruments, so learning the basics will help out a whole lot.

Rings a bell, I had to learn all the muscles and bones in the musculoskeletal system.





Flash cards are great, esp. if a friend can help you. Saying things OUTLOUD, rather than just in your head, helps 'imprint' it. Draw sketches of the tools on a notepad while you say its name (also an 'imprinting technique').





And always remember what they taught us in medical affiliation school, about the cranial nerves: "On Old Olympus' Towering Tops, a Finn and German Viewed Some Hops." A quick way to remember the 1st letter of each cranial nerve. Made it so much easier!
