Why Studying Ethics?
As long as the dentist knowledgeable & skillful ethicsdoes not matter
Ethics is learned in the family , not in the dental school Ethics is learned by observing how senior dentists act,
not through books or lectures
Ethics is important , but our curriculum already crowded
& no room for teaching ethics
