______________________________________________________________________
Dentistry is a highly stressful profession, with factors such as patient anxiety, time pressures, staff management, and complex procedures contributing to significant stress among practitioners. Chronic stress can lead to burnout, decreased job satisfaction, and even a decline in patient care quality.
Objective: Educate on how chronic stress affects the body (e.g., increased cortisol levels, physical tension, burnout) and how it manifests in the dental practice (e.g., neck and back pain, headaches, decision fatigue). Introduce simple, effective breathing exercises
Benefit: Quick and accessible tools that can be done before, during, or after patient appointments to help with relaxation and mental clarity.
