Dentist Burnout: Prevention and Coping Strategies

Dentist burnout happens when one experiences physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion due to prolonged stress. Dentists may be overwhelmed by work, prompting them to be cynical and suffer from compassion fatigue. Patient expectations, hectic administrative responsibilities, and a high workload are common causes of these feelings. These tasks can get the better of healthcare experts, causing them to be frustrated and demoralized. This can negatively affect their personal lives and the quality of patient care.
