About this listen

Burnout is no longer a buzzword in dentistry—it’s a reality for the majority of clinicians. In this episode, Dr. Kyle Stanley and Dr. Martin Mendelson have an honest conversation about the mental health crisis in dentistry and why so many dentists silently struggle under the pressure of perfectionism, financial demands, and the emotional weight of patient care.

They explore how leadership, boundaries, and communication—or the lack of them—contribute to daily stress, and why simply “escaping” the practice isn’t a sustainable solution. Drawing from personal experience, research, and years of coaching dentists around the world, they outline clear steps for transforming how we work, lead, and live in this profession.

You’ll also get a preview of their upcoming in-person course in Irvine, California, designed to help dental professionals build a career that doesn’t just survive—but truly thrives. Whether you’re early in your journey or years into practice, this episode offers perspective, practical tools, and a reminder that fulfillment in dentistry is possible.
