Wellbeing
Supporting the wellbeing of our members and the dentist community at large is important to us - we work hard to understand the difficulties you face and offer support to help you through them.
As a dentist, you are doing a job that is invaluable to society, and we are here to support you. We are aware that many of you are facing burnout and a decline in mental health with huge questions about the future of dentistry. In this section we have gathered available support and resources to help support your wellbeing.

Free course: Tackling stress
Dental professionals are more likely than the general population to exhibit harmful symptoms of stress. Our free online course will help you identify the triggers of work-related stress, how it can manifest physically and psychologically, and effective ways you can overcome it. Please note that a BDA account is required to access the content.
