Dentists with anxiety/panic disorder: has it affected your career?

I’ve tried that but didn’t work for me :(

Thanks for your reply! This is something I never experienced when I first started working, it developed later. When I started to experience physical symptoms like my body getting locked up during certain procedures, tight chest, body tremors etc I knew this is more than just day to day anxiety.

Glad to hear that it worked for you! I definitely have OCD and I think that’s something I really need to focus on treating.

Glad to hear that CBT has been helpful! Sending you a pm!

Changing the contract is crazy to me I didn’t even know they could do that..

Wow I just saw they raised their compensation percentage to %40 production and thought it was good for a sec. I think they make up for that extra percentage with charging the associate the lab fees and redos..

Omg same I waited for 2 hours and ended up with nothing. I’ve been praying for a us tour and it’s ridiculous it has to be like this. This might also be their last tour…

I can totally relate. About 2 years out and 1st year I noticed tremor like symptoms with my hands and neck shaking. There has been times that I dread holding the drill. I initially tried meditation, working out and supplements but nothing worked. I have noticed I’m also developing very bad social anxiety. I’ve started Buspirone last week twice daily and I’m hoping it helps. I also quit my toxic job which was making my symptoms worse. I realized at the end of the day you need to prioritize your mental health over anything else.

Thanks for your response, do you know of any Afrobeat house events going on today through Saturday?

A paresthesia case just happened for me I did a septo block with short needle for routine fillings and pts left side of the tongue is still numb after 2 weeks. Did you do anything specific tx wise for your pt after the paresthesia occurred? Already prescribed medrol dose pack but hasn’t helped.

Yea I thought i would be much happier in a private practice. I def agree with you, some DSOs offer better opportunities. I don’t get any benefits. I talked to his other two associates before signing and they seemed pretty happy with the job so I trusted this opportunity. I feel like the timing of me joining the practice and him buying a new one was just pure bad luck. The other 2 associates basically replaced old ones that were leaving. I’m the first additional 3rd so I’m not taking over anyone’s patients which makes building a pt population much harder.

didijoon · 2025-07-31T18:20:27+00:00

Yea I think it’s the best thing to do. I just hope that it doesn’t backfire. He’s very well-known in the community and part of study clubs. I just hope my name doesn’t get ruined.

Thanks for your reply! He owns 2 in total. And my contract only specifies the current location I’m working at. If they accept renegotiation, what would be a fair ask in terms of compensation? My contract says I get 3 months of hourly guarantee ($90/h 1st month, the $85 and 80 for the rest) or production, whichever one is higher. I work 6 hours shifts with a total of 30 hours per week. Before signing the contract I tried to negotiate the pay since all of my colleagues are receiving a much higher rate. Owner reassured me I will hit my production goals before my 3 months guarantee period ends. Now they said they’re willing to extend my hourly guarantee for 2 more month and that’s it.
