"COVID fatigue is real. While most dental practices encounter burn out from time to time, the reality is people are dealing with more uncertainty and fear."
It’s been a trying 18 months in dentistry. You may have noticed this fatigue showing up over the past few months: staff are short-tempered, patients are irritable, the team is frustrated, or you’re struggling with turnover.
COVID fatigue is contributing to the erosion of culture and dental practices. And as you may know, it can be hard to spot before it's too late. Maybe it’s an employee who comes in happy one day and the next day turns in their notice. Or maybe it’s the normally cheerful patient who is uncooperative with staff requests.
