Speaker Biography:

Topic Summary: "Our Chamfered Psyche: The Mental Dental Connection"
Dental professionals often examine the physical aspects of wellness yet we rarely explore or discus the mental aspects. It is time to remove the taboo and face the facts.
Anxiety, pain, depression, burnout. Dentistry can be difficult and take a toll. Studies show us that dental professionals experience a high incidence of mental illness. Additionally, many dental professionals don't clearly understand the mental health conditions that our patients present with, which red flags to watch for what to do/how to intervene.
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. Learn how to recognize triggers and warning signs. Identify essential tools and resources. Discover how and when to refer to a mental health professional. Explore and understand mental health terms, common treatments and therapy options. Gain coping mechanisms and learn how to manage expectations - both our own and those of our patients.

As editorial director with Dental Economics magazine, Dr. Joshua Austin authors the column Pearls for Your Practice and has personally worked with most new products and technologies that have entered the market.

Learn how materials have changed over the past few years and how those changes can affect your procedures and practice.
