Excellent lecture! The speaker was full of information to help in and out of the operatory and presented it in a fun and interesting way.
Best lecture at Midwinter in years!!! Many helpful tips I can apply every day.
Ever since attending your lecture at the Jamaica Dental Conference this year, I have adjusted my posture and seating positions with much positive success! It is all very much appreciated.
Your book is great! I bought another one for my hygienist as a Christmas present. Thank you!
Bethany showcased at our annual Speaking/Consulting Network Meeting and wowed the audience and her peers with her presentation. If you wish to hire a speaker who makes the meeting planner look good, this is the one.
Thanks to your recommendations, I am now working with absolutely no pain and production is up 50% over what I was doing 2 years ago.” Thank you so very much!!
I ordered your complete ergonomics package and everything has been extremely helpful. I have no pain anymore since starting your routine.
This information should be taught in all the dental schools.
Since I instituted Bethany’s recommendations, my back has been pain-free. I now feel I could practice comfortably for many more years.
This updated DVD is for anyone with a proactive desire to remain healthy through and beyond their dental career. This should be an integral part of every dental school program, as well as every dental practice! Prevention of injuries in dentistry flies under the radar for most of us, until we have pain, and then it is an uphill battle. In spite of yoga, massage and chiropractors I still had pain until I got this DVD. Posturedontics was the missing piece!
Bethany, thank you for a fantastic program. This is something that none of us are really exposed to in dental school yet is so critical to a long career.
With tips on making one’s dental practice more comfortable for oneself so that one’s body isn’t worn out before the Dentist’s mind, “Practice Dentistry Pain-Free” is a must for any dental professional who cares about more than their patient’s teeth.
I read your article in the ADA journal about declination angle for loupes, and have used (brand X) barrel-type loupes for a ‘hundred years’ with nagging neck pain. I switched to Surgitel flip-ups and my neck pain is MUCH better, so I’m thrilled. Thank you!
Great course content, excellent instructor. It’s about time! This information has been badly needed in dentistry. Finally someone has pulled it all together.
My muscles in the upper shoulder/neck area are improved. THANK YOU for spreading the word on this, it should be in every dental and dental hygiene school.
This was the most beneficial course I have ever taken and should be part of the dental hygiene curriculum.
Thank you for an excellent lecture. Yesterday was the first day in months that I have come home from work without pain!
I teach ergonomics to freshman dental students and will definitely incorporate this information into our preclinical curriculum. Excellent course, very thorough, great presenter!
This exercise program contains training that can add years to your career and allow you to care for your patients optimally. Buying this program could be the most important investment you make in your career.
I attended your seminar a few years ago in Tunica, MS. It was very helpful! I was unaware of the many aspects of ergonomics at the time and early adopted many of your recommendations. My lower back issues have disappeared.
I’m already using the stretching and exercise methods. You are a blessing to dentistry!
I have had no back pain since your lecture for our dental society. I can’t tell you the number of congratulations I received for your seminar.
Your presentation was excellent.
Someone understands us! Can’t wait to put this information to work.
This was one of the most relevant and well received lectures in our 7 years as a study club. Bethany took a potentially dry topic and made it entertaining, educational, and practical. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
My muscles in the upper shoulder/neck area are improved. THANK YOU for spreading the word on this, it should be in every dental and dental hygiene school.
I wish I had this course 20 years ago. One of the most important courses I’ve ever attended.
In 25 years of hygiene practice, this is the most practical useful course I’ve ever taken.
I recently had a valuable ergonomic consultation with Bethany. She brings information to dentists that no other speaker at the ADA Annual Convention has imparted. Her information can change lives, decrease pain, increase longevity of careers and more.
By far the most educational and career related course on ergonomics I have yet to attend. Thank you.
I started doing the exercises and have been noticing improvement in less than 1 week. In physical therapy they were having me do just about all the exercises you recommend that dentists should avoid. Now I can understand why the exercises were so painful. Finally, something that helps!!

Your course has saved & extended my dental career. Rather than undergo surgery, I decided to take your seminar. Your advice has been golden. Thank you! Thank you!
In 30 years of assisting, this is the only program that will help with my chronic back problems.
You are a genius! After suffering with headaches, neckaches, mandibular muscle pain and inner ear pain, I found that following your advice and treating the trigger points in my left upper trapezius staved off the pain. You explained this so well—the information was truly a blessing to me.
I was amazed at Bethany’s knowledge on operative microscopes and ways to make economical ergonomic modifications to them. She received the longest ovation of any speaker for our dental society. In addition, our translators greatly appreciated her articulate & concise delivery.
I believe that the help I’ve received from you has been more valuable than any of the other help I’ve received in my quest to be fit and pain-free.
I am a 53-year-old Dentist, in private practice for over 26 years. I’m also a distance biker, swimmer, and formally a power lifter. As many of you reading this know, dentistry gets harder after you’ve been doing it for 20+ years… Not technically, but physically.
Turns out my normal exercise routine has been simply exacerbating my neck and shoulder pain. After a short time on Bethany’s new program of muscle endurance exercises and stretching, I already see marked improvement.
My only regret is that I did not find this information sooner.
It is rare to attend a lecture that provides a lot of information that you can use immediately that is well delivered and have fun at the same time.
Outstanding presentation—the feedback has been very positive.
Still feeling better and better….thanks to your lecture. It is a great thing not to be in pain every day. I believe you are spot-on with your program.
This seminar had more practical advice than any previous course at this conference. Everyone in dentistry should take this course.
Your presentation was excellent.
“We received nothing but the highest evaluation marks on your presentation and are looking forward to your return. You make us ‘shine’!!”
I received your book today and can’t stop reading it. I like it and find it very helpful—thank you again!
Your energetic lecture delivered with humor and honesty was excellent.
