3 Easy Daily Habits To Beat Aging And Burnout In Dentistry
Dentistry isn’t a profession—it’s a sport. Think about it: how many hours a week do you spend standing, bending over and working with your hands? Those little movements add up, and over time, dentistry can take its toll on the body.
If dentistry is a sport, that means you’re an athlete. Start treating yourself like one!
Dentists get so focused on patient health, they forget to focus on their OWN health. You need to take care of your body, so you have the energy to take care of their teeth.
I challenge you to do cardio and resistance training daily (30 minutes each). You’re probably thinking, “I don’t have time to exercise an hour every day!” To that, I say this: the average person spends two hours per day on social media. That’s two hours they could be doing something productive, like exercising!
Okay, you can go on social media . . . to look at our free resources! Exercise is just one of the many things young dentists need to prioritize when they start a practice.
And for my established dentists, it’s one thing to be old—it’s another thing to FEEL old. Unlock the secret to mental and physical wellness here.
