Mindfulness: More Than a Buzzword in Dentistry

Authors

Abstract

The word mindfulness has found its way into wellness circles, scientific literature, and social media alike. As a result, it can be easy to dismiss—as trendy, vague, or impractical. But mindfulness isn’t about perfection. It isn’t about pretending to be a Zen master while juggling a packed schedule. At its core, mindfulness simply means being fully present—something that can feel nearly impossible in our fast-paced dental practices and overstretched lives.
