Happy Tuesday Hygienists!

Listen in as I discuss the importance of taking continuing education courses.  RDHs are required 25 units and RDHAPs are required 35 units at the minimum.  I read two main points from the Dental Hygiene Committee of California website (http://www.dhcc.ca.gov/licensees/cont_ed.shtml) that they emphasize to licensees, I share various resources for CEs, and I recommend how it can be helpful during an interview with a potential employer. 

Have a great day hygiene enthusiasts!

Good morning podcasters!

Start your week right with today's episode about self-love and self-care.  It is so important to remember how valuable we are in this field that involves customer service and serving others. We have to be mindful of how amazing we are at the beginning of our day, at the end of the night, or at the end of the week.

Happy Thursday!

 What qualities and skills about yourself would you like your coworkers to know about you? What do you want your coworkers to know about you? How do you contribute to the team?

It’s a really good idea to consider what you bring to the table to not just your employer but to also the other people who work at your office.  These are all the other people who make up the practice and it’s a good idea to be mindful that they too are important in making the practice thrive.
