Consistent work and introspection are necessary steps on the path to mental resilience. Although it is inevitable for dentists to deal with patients' critical comments, the emotional terrain of the profession need not be defined by this reality. Dentists can build a more happy and mentally resilient practice by focusing on expectations, limits, communication, and self-care. The point isn't to stop caring about what patients have to say; rather, it's to learn to understand and respond to their comments in a healthier, more constructive way.
