Ep. 812 - What Burnout Really Looks Like in Dentistry and How to Reset

Every single day, dentists are balancing clinical precision, time pressure, patient anxiety, physical strain, production goals, and practice expectations. You’re wearing multiple hats—clinician, educator, therapist, customer service rep, sometimes even peacemaker.

She is a psychiatric therapist who has earned a masters degree in social work and is currently a licensed clinical social worker. Coming from a family of dentists, she understand the unique pressures, culture, and unspoken expectations of the profession. To contact Tiffany, visit https://www.tiffanycastellanos.com/
