What is stress, and how can we use it better in the dentistry industry?

We are all stressed. And this is good; if we weren’t, we would struggle as human beings. We would not have achieved much in our lives without stress. It is a natural response to a change in our environment. The dental industry is no stranger to stress, and it is a consistent battle to manage stress.

A significant factor in dentistry is that stress can come in many different formats, such as patient care, managing a dental practice, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, CQC assessments, and staying abreast of rapidly evolving technological advancements and on top of all this having a personal life outside.

This stress in the dental industry isn't limited to the clinical environment; it extends to various dimensions. Practitioners face pressure to maintain the highest standards of patient care and responsibilities. This dynamic blend of clinical, managerial, and personal challenges makes the dental profession susceptible to unique and often intense stress.
