The constant stress of patients, staff, spouse, and kids often leaves little time to no time for yourself and causes dental burnout. This lecture will give you tools to cope with stressors and strategies to overcome mental blockades.

Now healed, this incident has caused me to review and be very conscious of my posture and body so that I can continue to practice dentistry for a long time.
