Debunking Myths in Dental Ergonomics

Today we are joined by Dr. Bethany Valachi of Posturedontics to discuss Debunking Myths in Dental Ergonomics and much more!

In order to be effective, dental ergonomic & wellness education must be evidence-based and unbiased.  In this session, Dr. Valachi debunks common preconceptions about dental ergonomic health & wellness.

• The best dental equipment are the products advertised as ‘ergonomic’.
• Dentists should sit with thighs parallel to the floor.
• Dental professionals can best optimize their health by hiring a personal trainer.
• Dental loupes will help prevent pain & extend your career.
• Strength training is a good place to start in your path to a pain-free career.
