Dr. Joshua Austin - Our Chamfered Psyche: The Mental Dental Connection

Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. The difficulties of dentistry can create stress and take a toll. Previous studies have shown us that dental professionals experience a higher rate of various mental illnesses in comparison to other careers. Additionally, many dental professionals don’t clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients may present us with, which red flags to watch for, what to do and how to intervene when necessary. Presented in Dr. Joshua Austin’s trademark comedic style, this course explores strategies for working together to improve mental health so we can be our best.
This course will teach you how to recognize triggers and warning signs and identify essential resources to protect your mental health and the mental health of others. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations - both our own and those of our patients.
