"Their (the patient's) comfort is not worth my injury." --Katrina Klein If you work in dentistry, it's likely that you will have pain at some point.

Katrina Klein is a bodybuilder, ergonomics expert and certified trainer who helps dental people with their pain. She tells us some stories about dental teams in pain and what she does to help. We dive deep into how she determines what can help and we talk a lot about indirect vision. Use that mirror!
