Ep #63: What Makes a "Hardy Dentist" with Dr. Clifford Katz

Dentistry can be a very stressful profession for any
practitioner, but what is it that gets some through it while
others give up? Here to answer that question is Dr. Clifford
Katz. Not only has Cliff seen dentistry from just about every
angle during his career—which has included working as a military
dentist, a private practitioner, a public health dentist, a
dental educator, a consultant, a practice facilitator, and
more—but his PhD dissertation research on stress in dentistry led
to a highly regarded series of articles called “The Hardy
Dentist.”


In this episode, Cliff discusses what it is that makes dentistry
such a stressful profession and why depression is common in the
field. He also shares what determines how people deal with
stress, as well as what skills you can develop in order to become
a “hardy dentist.”
