This Fall, stress less! I’ve never seen my patients and patients’ parents so stressed in all my years in orthodontics as I have this past year. It appears to be due, in large part, to the uncertainty around COVID. So in this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I wanted to provide my readers some quick tips for stress management…

Even though it would seem many of us should have a fun, COVID-free summer to look forward to, I’m finding that many of my patients (or patients’ parents) are still feeling the stress of this past year and finding it hard to return to normalcy… which leads me to this week’s #fridaypfisterfix. I can’t wait to share with you what I’ve learned about stress management and self-actualization.

Ah… a breath of fresh air… people are traveling again. During the pandemic, traveling and getting away had been postponed. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I bear my soul a bit in saying why I (like many people) needed to discover my “Happy Place”…

Though we may see light at the end of the COVID tunnel, the one thing it did is make us all slow down a bit. And some of us dove into more creative pursuits. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I encourage you to continue to channel your creative selves… if nothing else, because it’s good for your health!
