In this video, Dr. Khaled addresses an important question many professionals, especially dentists, often ask themselves: "What do I really do for a living?" Drawing from his 20 years of experience as a dentist and practice owner at Lakeside Dental Spa in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Dr. Khaled explores the mindset shift needed to avoid burnout and dissatisfaction in the dental profession.
He begins by reflecting on a forum post from a fellow dentist who felt unfulfilled, simply fixing teeth and paying bills. Dr. Khaled empathizes with this feeling, recognizing it as a symptom of deeper anxieties many face in their careers. He stresses the importance of how we talk to ourselves about our work, noting that reframing how we view our profession can make all the difference.
Rather than seeing dentistry as a monotonous task of fixing teeth, Dr. Khaled suggests focusing on the meaningful impact we have on patients' lives. Whether you're helping someone out of pain, improving their sleep quality, or contributing to their long-term health, there is purpose and value in what dentists do. He encourages dentists to reframe their mindset-telling themselves and others that they help people live better, healthier lives.
Dr. Khaled also touches on mental health, the role of happiness hormones like serotonin and oxytocin, and how they relate to stress in the profession. He advises dentists to actively work on creating a positive professional environment and mindset to ensure long-term career satisfaction.
