Dr. Ellie Campbell | 8 - 9:30 a.m. | Foundational Lifestyle Practices for Dental Professionals
Dental professionals face unique physical, emotional, and metabolic stressors that place them at high risk for burnout, chronic disease, and premature career fatigue. This course reframes self-care as a professional responsibility rather than a luxury, offering a practical, root-cause approach to personal wellness grounded in functional and preventive medicine principles. Participants will explore foundational lifestyle practices, understand how dental-specific stressors influence systemic health, and learn simple, high-yield tools and screenings that can be incorporated into daily practice. The goal is not perfection, but sustainability—empowering dental professionals to protect their health, enhance resilience, and lead by example for the patients and communities they serve.
