Ever wondered how to provide dental hygiene care to patients with cancer? Jill is a dental hygienist who recognized the limited course material she was given in school when caring for cancer patients and sought to learn more. Her passion stems from seeing her mom's oral health suffer after her breast cancer diagnosis. Jill founded Side Effect Support, an online resource for both dental professionals and patients wanting to learn more about managing oral care with cancer. Our conversation today covers her mission, tips for the Future RDH, her experience working two jobs while in dental hygiene school, and more!
