Habits of highly effective dentists.
While stress is pervasive in the world today, and particularly in the dental office, coping strategies can counteract it. This paper discusses the personality features of the hardy dentist; the fact that stress and its effects depend largely on individual perception of stressors; and five habits to develop for stress reduction: seeking information, taking direct action, inhibiting action, engaging intrapsychic efforts and calling on others.
