The Mindful Dentist – what exactly does that mean? Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment. Essentially blocking ev- erything negative out so you catch negative thought patterns before they start taking you along a downward spiral. Over time, mindfulness brings about long-term changes in mood and levels of happiness and wellbeing. Scientific stud- ies have shown that mindfulness not only prevents depres- sion, but that it also positively affects the brain patterns un- derlying day-to-day anxiety, stress, depression and irritability so that when they arise, they dissolve away again more easily.
