In this episode, I talk about my love for dental hygiene while also addressing the challenges in this field. It's so important to focus on the positive aspects of the job and highlight the growth in the dental hygiene profession. I encourage all aspiring dental hygienists to focus on the positives just as much- if not more than the negatives. Some of my favorite things about being a dental hygienist is the satisfaction of removing calculus, interacting with patients, and being able to work with new technology and resources. There are so many opportunities to explore the various specializations and career opportunities available in dental hygiene. You don't want to miss my "pros" of being a dental hygienist!
