Nobody talks about this part of dentistry:
The dissatisfaction.
The constant pressure.
The high rates of depression and suicide.
The feeling of being trapped in a role where you’re the dentist, the plumber, the psychologist, the marketer — all while trying to keep your team and your patients happy.
Many dentists break under the weight of it all, quietly looking for a way to fix things or a way out. In this episode of Emanate Leadership, we open a conversation that’s long overdue. We explore the hidden mental health crisis in dentistry and the toll it takes on you, your family, and your dreams. Most importantly, we discuss what’s possible when you’re ready to lead your life and your practice differently — whether you decide to stay or go.
If you’ve ever found yourself silently asking, “Is this really worth it?” or “Can it be different?”, this conversation is for you.
