    The Hidden Triggers of Dental Burnout (And What You Can Actually Do About Them)

    Burnout in dentistry is more than just feeling tired — it’s that sense that no amount of rest will ever be enough. Ashley Bond knows this firsthand, from her time at the front desk to her experience in the dental chair. She shares the real stressors that wear teams down: endless insurance headaches, staff turnover, and even the little daily frustrations like printers breaking at the worst possible moment. In this episode, Ashley talks openly about how “hurry culture” and never-ending to-do lists keep dental teams stuck in survival mode. She highlights how the stress doesn’t just stay in the office – it spills over into life at home, team morale, and even the patient experience. Listeners will walk away with practical solutions, from simple breathing resets to smarter delegation and better systems. Ashley champions tools that cut administrative burdens so teams can focus on what they love most—caring for patients. The message is clear: burnout prevention isn’t just about self-care. It’s about reshaping workflows, creating a supportive culture, tracking the right numbers, and leaning on real human support. For any practice ready to reclaim peace, profit, and joy, this episode is packed with actionable guidance.
