In this episode of Wellness in Dentistry, Dr. Kyle Stanley and Dr. Martin Mendelson dive into one of the most common but overlooked struggles in dental practice: overthinking. They explore how the absence of clear standards and structure can fuel decision paralysis in both clinical and non-clinical situations, creating unnecessary stress for dental professionals. The conversation unpacks how assumptions and judgmental thinking patterns interfere with progress, and why clear communication, thorough documentation, and consistently high standards are essential for reducing stress and avoiding analysis fatigue. Drawing inspiration from stoic principles, they share strategies for managing emotions, maintaining perspective, and building mental resilience, tools that apply not only to dentistry but to life as a whole.
