Gemini Summary
While not universally the single "most" stressful, dentistry is consistently ranked as a highly stressful profession due to factors like perfectionism, patient anxiety, economic pressures, and the demanding nature of the work itself. Certain specialties, such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, have higher stress rankings than general dentistry. The combination of clinical, financial, and personal pressures contributes to high rates of burnout, anxiety, and depression among dentists.
