Dentistry is a profession which is subject to a wide range of stressors which can lead to professional burnout. The dentist should be aware of these stressors and attempt to manage them in order to avoid becoming occupationally dissatisfied. Economic factors including the cost of a dental education and the start up costs of a practice can seem overwhelming if they are not considered as an investment in the professional future of the practitioner. Debt reduction and income goals should be set and periodically re-evaluated to keep the costs of entering and conducting business in perspective. The professional image or status of dentistry as a health care profession can cause stress to some practitioners. This is particularly true of dentists who feel compelled to practice in a less than desirable environment and those who feel professionally isolated. Active membership in local, state and national organizations can lessen the feelings of professional isolation and can provide contacts who can help starting practitioners improve their practice environments. Patient interactions can induce a great deal of stress in any health care provider. This is an individual response and must be countered in an individualized manner. Frequent breaks and relaxation exercises can reduce this type of stress.
牙科是一个面临多种压力源的职业，这些压力源可能导致职业倦怠。牙医应该意识到这些压力源，并尝试进行管理，以避免职业满意度下降。经济因素，包括牙科教育成本和开业成本，如果不被视为对从业者职业未来的投资，可能会显得令人不堪重负。应该设定债务削减和收入目标，并定期重新评估，以便正确看待入行和开展业务的成本。牙科作为一种医疗保健职业的专业形象或地位可能会给一些从业者带来压力。对于那些觉得不得不在不理想的环境中执业的牙医以及那些感到职业孤立的牙医来说尤其如此。积极加入地方、州和国家组织可以减轻职业孤立感，并能提供人脉，帮助初入行的从业者改善他们的执业环境。在任何医疗保健提供者中，与患者的互动都可能引发大量压力。这是一种个人反应，必须以个性化的方式应对。频繁休息和进行放松练习可以减轻这类压力。
