Psychology and coaching in dentistry: Stress
Helga Mediavilla Ibanez
Psicodent, Spain
Dentistry is a profession subject to many stressful factors.
Ever since the economic recession, the stress factors have been growing. As such, it has subsequently become necessary for
dentist practices to differentiate, improve the quality of care, apply sales techniques, and carry out marketing, publicity and
management activities that were previously not necessary.
My husband and I founded PSICODENT 25 years ago with the goal of helping dental professionals manage these potentially
stressful factors. In short, we wanted to help dental professionals enjoy this beautiful and rewarding profession.
Dentistry is a profession filled with relationships. In other words, it is made up of continuous interactions with people whether
they be patients, colleagues, employees, bosses, suppliers, etc. Such a profession is beautiful and simultaneously exhausting if
you lack social skills. Burnout is a result of the stress caused by relationships. We have the power to make one another happy,
but we can also hurt each other a lot. If we truly want to enjoy working in dentistry, it is paramount that we have, among other
resources, strong interpersonal relationship skills. Such skills can be taught by the field of psychology.
My mission is to convince you of the importance of acquiring specific skills in so much that each and every dental professional
can learn from psychological coaching, consulting, mentoring, courses and management in dentistry.
As a dentist, you often have to be a teacher, economist, psychologist, marketer, leader, motivator, etc. In short, you are so much
more than a dentist; more often than not you have to be business-minded as well. This is something which is not taught at
university. We take care of teaching you the essential tools to manage the day-to-day tasks at your clinic, allowing you to reap
the personal and financial benefits.
My slogan idea: “Our goal is to help you thrive and enjoy being a dentist”.
