  • Before the Breaking Point – Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in Dentistry – IC071

    Before the Breaking Point – Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in Dentistry – IC071
    Apr 15 2026
    Why does dentistry have such high levels of stress and burnout? Why do so many clinicians feel isolated despite working in busy practices? What are the early warning signs that a colleague might be struggling? And what can you actually do — practically — if someone is in crisis? In this powerful and deeply important episode, Professor John Gibson shares his personal story and the mission behind the Canmore Trust. The conversation explores suicide prevention in dentistry, how to recognise warning signs, and the simple but life-saving actions every clinician should know. https://youtu.be/BftumzpytJI Watch IC071 on YouTube Key Takeaways Dentistry has a well-recognised issue with stress, burnout, and suicide riskSuicide is always multifactorial — never caused by a single eventToxic culture, including harassment and unrealistic expectations, contributes to distressSocial media comparison can amplify feelings of inadequacy and isolationDentistry is uniquely demanding — both intellectually and technicallyMental health stigma prevents open conversations within the professionNeurodivergence is increasingly relevant and often underdiagnosedPerfectionism is a key risk trait linked to suicidal thinkingWorking below your moral standards creates significant psychological stressWarning signs include changes in temperament, withdrawal, and isolationAsking directly about suicide does not increase risk — it can save livesUse the “double bounce” approach: ask the question twice if neededIf someone says yes, act immediately — hospital or emergency servicesYou are not responsible for managing the crisis aloneEarly support includes sharing concerns and involving a trusted personGP support can be transformative and should not be delayed Highlight of this episode: 00:00 Teaser00:51 Intro04:16 John Gibson Introduction07:15 Understanding the Scale of Suicide in Dentistry09:59 Why Suicide Happens in Dentistry11:13 Key Risk Factors of Suicide in Dentistry12:09 Social Media and Comparison12:52 Isolation13:04 Difficulty of Dentistry14:03 Mental Health Stigma15:22 Neurodiversity18:18 Perfectionism and Moral Conflict in Dentistry21:44 Recognising Warning Signs of Suicide21:46 Midroll25:07 Recognising Warning Signs of Suicide26:21 How to Approach a Suicidal Colleague28:49 Double Bounce Technique30:44 If the Answer is YES33:36 Support and Resources for Dentists34:12 Key Suicide Prevention Steps37:40 Creating a Supportive Workplace39:18 Reflective Space40:00 Daily Positivity Practice42:46 Canmore Trust Podcast42:59 Outro Learn more about mental health in Dentistry: Check out more episodes on mental health, burnout, and wellbeing in dentistry.

  • Implementing Sleep, Airway and Myo to Restorative Dentistry Part 2 – PDP263

    Implementing Sleep, Airway and Myo to Restorative Dentistry Part 2 – PDP263
    Apr 8 2026
    You’ve spotted the signs—wear, scalloping, fragmentation, maybe even a low AHI—but what does that really mean? When the data doesn’t match the symptoms, how do you move forward? And how do you integrate airway into full mouth rehab without compromising function, stability, or predictability? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Aston Parmar to explore the real-world application of airway dentistry. They discuss how to help patients own their problem, why sleep testing matters, and how airway influences diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes. https://youtu.be/-zVV1FAT0NI Watch PDP263 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl Nasal Breathing and Simple Screening Nasal airflow can be a major limiting factor in sleep quality.Simple test: flare nostrils → if breathing improves, nasal resistance may be present.Nasal dilators can be a cheap, low-risk intervention for selected patients.Not all patients need mandibular advancement — sometimes the issue is nasal.Second pearl: test snoring improvement by advancing the mandible.If forward positioning reduces snoring sound → mandibular advancement may help. Key Takeaways Patients must own their problem before accepting treatmentAirway dentistry is about risk reduction, not cureApnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) has limitations—context and patterns matter more than raw scoresUpper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) is common but underdiagnosedSleep fragmentation can exist even with low AHI scoresMyofunctional therapy improves compliance and outcomesMulti-night sleep testing provides more accurate insightsCollaboration with ENT specialists improves diagnostic accuracyAirway is the bookend of full mouth rehab (start and end)Dentistry should be airway-sympathetic, not just tooth-focusedMandibular advancement devices are effective but require careful titrationMorning occlusal guides help reduce bite changes from appliancesNot all patients need the same pathway—risk stratification is keyPredictability in dentistry depends on understanding the whole systemThe environment (airway, function, biology) matters more than the teeth Highlights of this episode: 00:00 – Introduction to Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome02:08 – Pearl: Nasal Breathing and Simple Screening07:43 – Recap: Myofunctional Therapy and Indications08:30 – Role of Myofunctional Therapy in Treatment Planning09:40 – Patient Communication and Case Acceptance23:20 – Sleep-Disordered Breathing Spectrum23:50 – Apnea vs Hypopnea and Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) Limitations30:00 – Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)35:43 – Management of UARS37:00 – Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD)39:00 – Maxillary Expansion and Surgical Options41:00 – Treatment Pathway and ENT Involvement44:00 – Risk Assessment in Full Mouth Rehab59:30 – Airway-Sympathetic Dentistry01:02:00 – Treatment Philosophy and Case Selection01:07:00 – Airway as Bookends of Treatment01:09:00 – Managing Side Effects of MAD01:12:00 – Career Insight and Final Reflections Want to learn more?

    Implementing Sleep, Airway and Myo to Restorative Dentistry Part 1 – PDP262
    Apr 1 2026
    What do you actually do once you’ve screened a patient for airway or sleep-disordered breathing? You suspect sleep apnea—but since we can’t diagnose it as dentists, how does that influence the care you provide? What do you do with that information, and who should you be working with to help your patient? And what if you want to implement airway into your practice—but you’re not in the right environment to do so? In this episode, Dr. Aston Parmar joins Jaz to break down how to implement airway in everyday dentistry. Together, they explore what happens after screening, how it influences treatment planning, and how dentists can work with other professionals to deliver better care. https://youtu.be/wGbgbW8muUI Watch PDP262 on YouTube  Protrusive Dental Pearl Use the Mallampati Score as a quick chairside airway screen: have the patient open wide and stick out their tongue. Grade 1 = low risk; higher grades indicate greater Sleep-Disordered Breathing risk. ⚠️ In TMD patients, limited opening can give falsely high scores. ✅ Always interpret alongside history and full exam. Key Takeaways Airway management is often overlooked in dental education.Sleep testing can significantly improve patient outcomes.Dentists should focus on airway health to enhance sleep quality.Collaboration with orthodontists can benefit patient care.Myofunctional therapy is crucial for both children and adults.Early intervention before age six is vital for nasal breathing.Tongue function plays a significant role in dental health.Breathing patterns can affect orthodontic stability.The Malampati score is a key indicator of sleep disorder risk.Upper airway resistance syndrome can be difficult to diagnose.Collaboration with myofunctional therapists enhances patient outcomes.Understanding airway health is essential for total body health.Inspiring the next generation of dental professionals is important.
