Psychological Distress and the Perceived Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on UK Dentists During a National Lockdown

This paper published in the British Dental Journal discusses a study that aimed to determine the level of psychological distress in UK dentists during the lockdown period. Data suggests that while levels of psychological distress was reduced (attributed to lessened day-to-day stressors of clinical dentistry), novel stressors were introduced during the lockdown period warranting monitoring of mental health and wellbeing of dentists.
