About This Book

Protect, and renew, the human core of dental care.

Regulatory burden. Insurance complexity. Provider burnout. No matter the specialty, everyone in healthcare feels these pressures. Dental professionals, though, face a unique set of challenges. From complex team dynamics and anxious patients to sensory hurdles and an evolving landscape, the field’s progress hinges on one thing: restoring the connection between provider and patient.

Benz presents his evidence-based framework for integrating the science of positive psychology into clinical practice.

Human connection determines clinical outcomes. Learn how to improve these outcomes and protect yourself from burnout with this comprehensive exploration of science, psychology, and the power of patient-centered care.
