    On the one hand, it's clear that their training begins significantly earlier than in the US. On the other hand, note how the instructor's mask doesn't cover her nose and how the student dentist isn't even wearing protective eyewear. I mean, what does it matter that they start earlier if they're not even going to follow basic hygiene protocol? That said, using child labor will definitely help keep costs down. 😁

    It's clearly a dummy and not a real person on the patient's table and so maybe safety/hygiene protocols were not the main point/focus of the demonstration/lesson.

    I think they are only primary school kids not dental students, the young adults must be dental nurses. It must be kind of game or explain how dentists work to school kids.

    I guess my tongue-in-cheek "explanation" of the photo failed big-time! It's a photo from Kidzania in Japan.

    That's what I thought but as a dentist I had to interfere 😂

    Every time I have a woman dentist, and she says, "Can you close your mouth a little?", I think, man, that's so much more polite than how my wife says it. 😆
