Wellbeing resource for dental workforce launched

The dental profession is fast-paced and demanding, with high levels of stress, burnout, and mental health challenges affecting individuals at every level. Studies have shown that over 86 per cent of dental professionals experience work-related stress, and nearly 60 per cent report symptoms of burnout.

Breathe is the first dedicated wellbeing platform for the entire oral health community, providing a hub for expert guidance, support, and resources for free. Designed by professionals who understand the unique pressures of dentistry, it offers practical, evidence-based tools to help individuals, teams, and organisations reduce stress, prevent burnout, and enhance overall performance.

Jason Wong, CDO England, said, “I am delighted to see the Breathe platform launch. General wellbeing of the whole oral health team is so important, and this will prove to be a valuable resource for team members to access and will have benefits right across the spectrum of the valuable work that we are all doing.”
