This week's episode features Britt from the famous @brushwithbritt on Instagram and TikTok. Britt is a dental hygienist in California, and she is a major influencer in the dental hygiene space. She is open and transparent about the pros and cons of dental hygiene, and she even discusses taboo topics such as pay. She is an amazing advocate for our profession, and I am so happy to celebrate her accomplishments on the show. Britt's RDH origin story is absolutely incredible. Not only did she graduate from dental hygiene school DEBT FREE, she also overcame some significant struggles that could have prevented her from achieving so much success. Go follow her on socials and listen to her podcast, Brush with Britt, on Apple or Spotify!

In this week's episode, Dana responds to a listener's question about how to secure enough money to pay for dental hygiene school. Have you stopped to consider if all of your needs are met? We need certain needs met before we can survive and thrive (which includes food, water, shelter, safety). If finances are a major stressor for you, you will struggle to learn new information and retain that information. So how can you reduce financial stressors before getting into dental hygiene school? Listen to find out!

This episode of the Dental Hygiene Basics Podcast features Ala'a, a new dental hygiene graduate. Ala'a talks about switching from a career in special education to dental assisting, and then COVID gave her a push to apply to dental hygiene school. She talks about how she had to overcome self-doubts when applying, but that she found herself more prepared when she arrived on campus because of her dental assisting background. Ala's story will be really helpful for someone who attended college in the past, but their prerequisites are not up to date. She discussed how Concorde Career College in San Antonio was a good choice for her because it allowed her to retake her prereqs and her dental hygiene degree in only 17 months. Listen to the podcast for more inspiration and motivation when applying to dental hygiene school!
