Mental Health Is Now Core: A New Era for...

Dr. Kyle Stanley and Dr. Martin Mendelson
About this episode

In this powerful episode, Dr. Martin Mendelson and Dr. Kyle Stanley explore the long-overdue shift toward prioritizing mental wellness in dentistry. With California now recognizing mental health education as part of core CE requirements, the profession is taking a bold step forward. The doctors discuss what this means for dental professionals, the significance of boundaries, physical wellness, and having someone to talk to when things get heavy. They also unpack the idea of “enough,” the value of self-reflection, and why this cultural shift is just the beginning. Whether you’re feeling great or running on empty, this episode is a reminder: your mental health matters.
