Dental education setting

For dental professionals

A Peaceful Practice

Dr. Betty Orr speaks to dental professionals about creating workplaces — and lives — defined by calm, purpose, and resilience.

Peace is not the absence of pressure. It is a practice.

After nearly 20 years running her own dental practice in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Betty Orr understands the weight that dental professionals carry. The clinical demands, the emotional labor, the relentless pace. She also knows what it feels like to find a way through — to build a practice that sustains rather than depletes. That is what she brings to every room she speaks in.

Compassionate dental care
