This week, Matt chats with Annette Smith, RDH, MSDH, about her experience as an educator and member of the ADHA Task Force on Return to Work. They also discuss Annette’s quest to advocate for dental hygienists’ ability to administer local anesthetic and her upcoming role as the Texas Dental Hygienists’ Association (TDHA) President. Be sure to listen and get inspired by her passion for our profession.
