Wellness Resources
The Nebraska Dental Association is committed to supporting the well-being of Nebraska dentists and the entire dental team. Dentistry can be a rewarding profession, but it can also come with significant stress, physical demands, and the pressures of running a practice.Prioritizing personal well-being helps dental professionals maintain balance, provide excellent patient care, and sustain long, fulfilling careers.
Members of the dental community have access to a variety of wellness resources through the American Dental Association. These resources are designed to support mental health, physical health, and overall professional well-being.
Resources available through the ADA include:
Tools to assess your personal well-being
Guidance on managing stress and preventing burnout
Ergonomic tips to reduce physical strain in clinical practice
Mental health and peer support resources for dentists and dental teams
The ADA also offers the Dental Well-Being Index, an anonymous self-assessment tool developed by the Mayo Clinic to help clinicians evaluate their risk for burnout, fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
