Practicing dentistry often involves being in uncomfortable postures and performing repetitive hand motions for long periods of time. As a result, 40 to 60 percent of dental professionals suffer from work-related musculoskeletal issues.
Are you one of them?
A good, ergonomically designed operatory, along with daily stretching and exercise, can help dental practitioners and their staff enjoy long, healthy careers.
Use the printable graphics on posture break exercises and quick stretches for dental staff to help you remember these exercises. Put one in every operatory to start your day out right.
