Welcome back to The Dental Handoff, where we bridge stories of purpose, growth, and innovation in dentistry.

In this episode, Dr. Kelly Tanner sits down with Alicia Murria, an inspiring dental hygienist turned entrepreneur, author, and educator. From surviving a career-changing accident to creating Hygienists for Humanity and publishing her powerful book “They Don’t Make Awards for This,” Alicia shares her heartfelt journey of resilience, leadership, and redefining what it means to care.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why dental hygiene chose Alicia — and how she found purpose beyond the chair
  • How she turned challenges into opportunities for impact
  • The power of saying “no” and trusting your intuition as a professional
  • Her upcoming CE Zoom program Hands On Demand and how it’s changing hygiene education

    •  “Trust yourself. Delegate. And know what you’re saying yes to.” — Alicia Murria
