My guest, Deanna, has an inspiring dental hygiene story starting from her military experience straight out of high school, earning her bachelor's in dental hygiene while working two jobs, and then eventually getting her master's degree! Today, she still practices in the operatory as a dental hygienist while also doing public speaking, CE courses, and writing articles. Infection control is a main topic of discussion in this episode that every RDH and future RDH needs to hear!
