West Suburban Branch | Dental Wellness Essentials

Join the West Suburban Branch at the Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge on October 6, 2026 for the lecture “Dental Wellness Essentials: Foundations for Leading a Long, Happy, Healthy Dental Career” presented by Dr. Cristian Pavel, DDS from DentalYogis.

Course Description: Presence is our most valuable currency—yet it’s often depleted by stress, distraction, and emotional overload. This course reframes success in dentistry by prioritizing the health of the mind, body, and nervous system. Participants gain practical, sustainable tools to enhance energy, sleep, nutrition, and movement—without adding more to an already full plate. Rather than chasing balance, this course teaches alignment: where well-being fuels performance instead of competing with it.

Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a systemic issue. This course equips dental professionals with foundational wellness tools that protect longevity, rekindle purpose, and ensure success doesn’t come at the cost of health.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Cristian Pavel is a dentist and owner of Smile First Dental Wellness, yoga/wellness instructor at BIAN Wellness, and breathwork facilitator for Frequency-Chicago. Dr. Cristian Pavel presents and leads dentists on their wellness journey at Chicago Midwinter Meeting and beyond. He is the co-founder of Revive Mission, a dental aid yoga retreats in the Dominican Republic with the mission to inspire dental professionals to become health and wellness leaders in their communities.
