Dentistry is difficult and can take a toll on our bodies, both physically and MENTALLY, presenting as anxiety, pain, depression, and burnout. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or how to intervene. Explore strategies for improving mental health so we can be our best, and learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources, and gain coping mechanisms for your own personal and professional challenges.
