Summary

Did you know that 4 out of 5 dental hygienists report work-related pain? Untreated, it can result in physical and financial disaster. The COVID-19 pandemic, with heavy personal protective equipment (PPE) and mental stress, has added to the physical demands in the operatory, resulting in new layers of discomfort. Due to the multifactorial nature of work-related pain in dentistry, rarely does a single intervention (i.e. loupes, strength training) permanently resolve these chronic issues. Research reveals 5 key areas that are essential to effectively resolving work-related pain for dental hygienists and the sequence in which these are implemented are also integral to successfully resolving pain. This presentation will offer evidence-based strategies to promote pain-free practice which will help rejuvenate your passion for dental hygiene and extend your career.

I have been looking for solutions to my neck/shoulder issues and this webinar has hit home on exactly everything I needed to hear. This may have saved my career! Looking forward to using the stretches and exercise regime!
