Educators’ Readiness in Supporting Dental Students’ Mental Health: A Cross-Sectional Study

The findings of this study indicate that while dental educators generally understand the impact of mental health on students' academic performance, they face notable gaps in preparedness and confidence. Key barriers include insufficient training, limited awareness of institutional resources, and difficulties in accessing mental health information. These results emphasize the need to equip educators with the necessary knowledge and resources to effectively support students' mental well-being.
