Interview transcript
Milton Justinsuthakaran (MJ): My name’s Milton. I graduated from Barts and I’m currently in the LKSS Scheme – London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex – and I’m based in North West London.
GC’s John Maloney (JM): What have you learnt on the course in the last two days and what have you enjoyed the most?
MJ: It has been about direct composites, so yesterday we were focusing on the anterior tooth, fixing a class IV trauma case, which surprisingly I’ve had quite a few times already this year. It has helped reinforce everything I’ve learnt myself and the advice I’ve been given from other dentists, so that has been really good. Today, focused on discoloured teeth, how to mask it – that has been really good, and the Stamp Technique as well.
JM: Fantastic. What would you say to other Foundation Trainees thinking of entering?
MJ: I think it’s a bit of a no-brainer really, because you get to come to the beautiful site in Belgium and the team here are really lovely and supportive. The facilities are amazing and to work with GC’s composite is super nice – I’m really grateful for this opportunity.
The CGDent-GC Award 2024/25 is open to Dentists and Dental Therapists who qualified in the UK or Ireland in 2024 or are undertaking Dental Foundation Training or Dental Vocational Training 2024/25.
