Is Musculoskeletal Pain Affecting Your Dental Career?

Dentists experience Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) at some point in their careers due to the repetitive and demanding nature of their work. The appropriate application of Ergonomics—is the key to preventing these issues.

Ergonomics is the science of tailoring the work environment to the worker. This highly beneficial method reduces the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) by minimising excessive twisting, leaning, gripping, and repetitive motions. With more than 65% of dentists suffering from Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating conditions, incorporating ergonomic principles into the dental workplace has become critical. Such measures not only safeguard the dentist’s health and well-being but also substantially reduce the likelihood of Musculoskeletal Development.
