Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and can take a toll on your mental health. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for, or what to do/how to intervene.
