Ergonomics

It takes less than two years for a healthy dental clinician to develop musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) symptoms.¹ Think back to dental school. How many times did you have to compromise your positioning to gain better access to the oral cavity? Even in the very beginning of your career, before you ever left school, you were probably developing minor repetitive stress injuries, feeling the nagging back, neck and wrist pain that, in the long run, might lead to career-ending MSD symptoms.

There is no better time than now to deeply examine how better ergonomics can positively affect your health and the health of your students.
