The only reason for burnout is that the doctor has not developed a solid mission/philosophy for how he/she wants to practice dentitstry. Additionally, the dentist needs to share this with their staff and be sure that each member believes/follows this philosophy from the beginning. The old cliche, “your either working on your agenda, or on someone elses” is what drives burnout because the doctor and the staff have no idea why they are going to work.

My ‘Mantra s’: In case you are talking about’burnt out’ :
1. Play soft spiritual music in office for effective efficient ‘rituals of dentistry’ !
2. Keep ‘young’s Modulus’ in mind. It takes too long to become ‘young’[ Y=stress/strain] !
3. I am a lion, so why talk of ‘Rat Race ‘ !
4.Tired, Retired who and how: ‘Work is worship’ !
5. ‘Pulp Chamber’ is for meditation : All curved canals are pleasure.Pulp stones are no hurdles. They are building blocks. I am in love with dentist wife and dentistry for+36yrs!
6. ‘Handle with care’ sign be put on designs of life and lovely teeth.
7. Above all : Remain ‘HIS FAITHFULY’ !
So, wish you all no bunt outs ! Best Wishes & Greetings from INDIA - the Land of Love, Peace & Sacrifice and Devotion

I remember that your male dentists seemed to be smug and feel superior that they allegedly ‘worked more hours’ than their female counterparts. So I gues this is the outcome, 81% feel burnout!
