Ergonomics for Dental Students
More than 70 percent of dental students reported neck, shoulder and lower back pain by their third year of dental school, according to a study published in the January 2005 JADA. Physical habits can have real consequences! Learn how to protect yourself and your earning potential by practicing good ergonomics.
In addition to the free Infopak Ergonomics for Dental Students, the ADA maintains a range of ergonomic information, along with other issues related to well-being at www.ada.org/goto/wellbeing.
