Essential reading for dental professionals and other healthcare workers wanting to build emotional resilience and positive mental health
Dentistry is a high-stress profession with elevated rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Chronic workplace stress is a growing concern as it can severely damage the mental health of dental professionals and negatively impact their ability to provide appropriate care. Psychological interventions have been shown to greatly benefit the well-being and emotional resilience of the medical and healthcare community, yet resources that provide preventative tools are limited.
Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals, is designed not only to combat occupational hazards in Dentistry, such as burnout and compassion fatigue, but also to build resilience, engagement at work and nurture positive mental health through a variety of evidence-based tools. This invaluable guide helps readers utilise tools from the science of well-being (Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), to create happier, thriving careers.
It includes:
* Tools from resilience interventions to help dental professionals implement preventative habits and take steps towards positive mental health
* Focus on self awareness in recognizing burnout early
* Positive psychology and well-being exercises, customised for dental professionals, to help you meld together research and application: from journaling and creative exercises to nature-based and activities at work
* Measure and track well-being using psychological scales
* Manage difficult emotions, practice mindfulness and self-compassion, develop a culture of kindness and gratitude at work, utilise a growth mindset when upskilling, harness positive leadership and use strengths, with patients and at home
* Create habits that stick through applying the psychology of goal setting, behaviour change, motivation psychology, work-life harmony and happiness
Written by a Positive Psychologist, and Dentist, with more than 12 years' clinical dentistry experience within a stressful NHS environment, Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals is a must-have resource for all dental students, hygienists, therapists, dentists, dental nurses, dental technicians, specialists and allied healthcare workers.
The Author Dr Mahrukh Khwaja is a dentist working in the UK, a Positive Psychologist and founder of Mind Ninja: a well-being start-up providing resilience and mental health training to dental professionals.

"Exceptionally well written, organized, presented, and timely, Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals is essential reading for anyone working in dentistry and should be considered an important textbook for supplemental dentistry curriculum reading lists.... Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals is a critically important and unreservedly recommended for professional, college, and university library Dentistry collections."
--Wisconsin Book Watch, Mar 23, Midwest Book Review
"I would highly recommend this book - you will need your own personal copy though to get the most out of it, as you scribble your own thoughts down and emerge with a set of every day strategies that should rewire your thinking and help you enjoy this wonderful career of dentistry more fully"
--Len D'Cruz, Head of Indemnity, British Dental Association
"The format is clear and well considered. The book is aimed at dental professionals and I welcome the inclusivity of the whole team, something that has been lacking in past research.... The book isn't text-heavy and has a good balance of theory and activities; it ensures that readers stop and consider their own wellbeing. Some complex psychological ideas are touched on but in a way that is relatable thus making them more understandable"
--Michelle Williams, Dental Hygienist, Published in BDJ Team, Feb 23
