Doing Dentistry for a Living ... and Not Regretting It. Correct Posture for the Dentist - Part 1of 2

Dr. David Ahearn, Founder of Design Ergonomics (www.desergo.com), discusses the relationship of Force, Frequency, and Posture.
As a dentist, there is a certain amount of physical stress that you will take every day. The objective is very simple. You need balance to avoid work-related injuries. Rest and exercise can help. You can also change how you approach your work. And, as dentists, we have an obligation to the health of our patients to be very efficient about how we approach dental care.
