In November, the BDJ's fellow publication BDJ Team published its second themed issue of the year, focused on mental health and wellbeing (the September issue focused on dental hygienists and therapists).
The mental health and wellbeing issue boasts four original papers from colleagues at Peninsula Dental School, University of Plymouth:
-
1.
Using the Mental Health Wellness Framework in dental practice
-
2.
An individual-level approach to stress management in dentistry
-
3.
Wellbeing for dental professionals - some practical tips
-
4.
The importance of developing a growth mindset for the dental team.
Gaining wide attention in social media circles is a personal account from dental therapist and lecturer Emily Banks from Cardiff Dental School, who describes her experiences with topical steroid addiction and withdrawal: 'I went through a crippling deterioration in my mental health'(https://go.nature.com/3U6HTYh).
Caroline Holland explores the role of dental teams in the management of children with rare medical conditions, highlighting a new leaflet published on behalf of the Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) charity, in 'Genetic conditions and the dental team' (https://go.nature.com/3VpTina).
BDJ Team is available online to all dental professionals. For the current issue, visit https://www.nature.com/bdjteam/volumes/9/issues/10.
