title: A survey of dental professionals' health and well-being.
abstract: Past research has indicated that working within dentistry may offer a considerable threat to health. However, no data have previously been published regarding the general well-being and lifestyles of dental personnel. This descriptive study, which was undertaken by the BDA, aimed to examine the self-perceived health and well-being of people working in dental surgeries and to describe their health related behaviours.
