This episode might win for the best RDH Origin Story on the podcast. Amber D'Andrea joined me to talk about how she ended up in dental hygiene despite originally wanting to become an RN- it's a crazy story that I'm excited for you to hear! She also shares the experience she had in the dental hygiene program at the College of DuPage in Illinois, which allowed her to obtain a bachelor's degree by completing one extra year of schooling. She later earned her MBA and now works with the dental networking platform Cloud Dentistry to help students and practicing RDHs. Stay tuned until the end to hear her advice for hygiene students!
