Dentistry is a high-performance profession — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yet many dentists unknowingly sacrifice their own health while caring for others.
This educational seminar explores the key drivers of longevity, energy, and resilience for dentists, offering practical, evidence-based strategies to help clinicians reduce burnout, protect their bodies, and sustain performance over a long career.
Objectives:
- Why dentistry places unique physical and neurological demands on the body
- The biggest health risks dentists face — and how to mitigate them early
- How muscle, sleep, and stress management directly impact career longevity
- Simple strategies to improve energy, focus, and recovery during long clinical days
- Practical habits that support long-term health without disrupting a busy practice
