Amanda, is a registered dental hygienist who has experienced burnout multiple times in her career. She previously worked in surgery for 15 years before becoming a dental hygienist and then experienced burnout again. To address this, she went back to school to get her bridge master's degree with a focus on burnout. She discussed that burnout is a common issue in the dental field and suggested that instead of focusing on the negative, individuals should focus on why they went into the profession in the first place and the positive impact they can make on their patients. She also highlighted the many different career options available in the dental field such as becoming a public speaker or starting one's own business.
