Editorial: The Arts and empathy in Special Needs (Care) Dentistry
“What on earth are dental students doing in an art gallery?†“What does the gallery have to do with empathy?†These are
questions I am often asked as I meet dental students at the doors of the Ian Potter Museum of Art. I wonder if I should
tell them outright or rather just let them experience the moment. As I walked around the Art Gallery here in Barcelona after attending the annual conference of the Association of Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) 2016, I feel that the student questions are somewhat self-explanatory. Dental students and in fact all students in health disciplines
can learn an enormous amount by spending time in galleries. Apart from the obvious beauty and time for self-reflection
that a gallery affords one, it allows thinking and moulding of thoughts, and development of relationships with the inner
self and humanity at large.
