What happens to our bodies when we work as dental professionals?

WHY DO DENTAL PROFESSIONALS TEND TO EXPERIENCE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN?

Welcome to My Blog dedicated to #dentalprofessionals - #dentists, #dentaltherapists, #dentalhygienists, #dentalnurses and #dentalassistants who are suffering from #muscularskeletalpain, #RSI from working in #dentistry.

• We prioritize our work / patients rather than our own bodies. As dental professionals, our top priority will always be the patient!

• When we concentrate deeply on our task, our shoulders often lift, and we frequently overlook our posture.

• Our upper body is bent forward. Accessing confined, dim areas such as people's mouths, which can sometimes be as small as 2 - 4cm, can be difficult. This frequently results in us compromising our posture.

• Incorrect positioning of the patient chair often causes our head to be tilted forward and downward.

  
  

• Occasionally, our chin may stick out forward as a result of the patient chair being too high or the patient's chin pointing downward.

• Incorrect time management strategies often lead to stress or multiple micro-stresses.

• Experiencing stress causes our muscles to tense up, leading to stiffness and eventually muscular pain. This can result from the daily strain we put on our bodies.

• Neglecting ergonomics can cause our bodies to twist improperly, leading to increased pain and stiffness.

• Our core muscles fail to provide sufficient support when our posture strays from the neutral alignment.

• When our bodies start to ache, it can distract us from our work, making it more stressful.

• Experiencing mental and physical exhaustion daily can lead to burnout.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF BECAUSE NOBODY ESLE WILL
