The Emotional Reset: 5 Steps to Rewire Your Brain for a Stress-Free 2026

 As dentists, we are trained to fix what is broken in others, but we often neglect the wear and tear on our own minds. The pressure of clinical quotas, difficult patients, and the pursuit of perfection can lead to the silent epidemic of burnout.In this inaugural session of the Bharat Dental Show 2026, Dr. Ketaki Pawar Chavan bridges the gap between Neuropsychology and Dentistry. Based on her book, The Emotional Reset, she introduces the "5R Framework"—a clinical approach to mental ergonomics. Join us to learn how to stop the "Amygdala Hijack" in the dental chair, silence the inner critic that amplifies clinical mistakes, and build a psychological immune system that protects your peace throughout the year.
