Mental Health In Dentistry - PDP185

We need to talk about the ‘S’ word and our mental health.
I never, EVER want to lose a colleague again due to the pressures within Dentistry.
This is why I interviewed Dr Mahrukh Khwaja, a positive psychologist and Dentist, to help us with strategies to improve our mental health.
Why is it that we have so many support channels during a crisis, but no structured pathways to help us AVOID burnout, crisis and stress in Dentistry?
Protrusive Dental Pearl: What are you doing on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to look after your Mental Health? Do not wait until a crisis, as we already know that prevention is better than the cure.
Take the first steps in looking after your mental health with Mahrukh and her Mind Flossing Toolkit:
