Calculus Detection can be a super challenging skill to develop. It is much like any other detailed skill - it takes practice, persistence, and a commitment to the process. Listen to your professors when they say "roll around the line angle and lighten up your grasp." I know it can feel daunting, but these things actually work. In addition to those fundamentals, there are some othter tricks that may be helpful for you to know as you embark on your next clinical rotation.

I am as passionate about finances as I am about dental hygiene. There is nothing more rewarding for me than to see students set themselves up with an amazing future in dental hygiene.

I am all about student success, and when I read Dana's article on FIRE, I knew we needed to get together and share this perspective.

her article is here

In this episode, I ask Dana to share her best advice on how a student can set themselves up with a plan while in dental hygiene school to put themselves on the right track for success!

It is not easy..........if it were, everyone would do it. BUT you are doing dental hygiene school - and that is equally challenging. You can do this! Your future depends on it.

I have had RDH Evolution on my bucket list ever since the very first conference four years ago. When I read the brochure, I was compelled to attend. I have always found that the most growth happens in my life when I step outside of my comfort zone and really stretch myself. This conference did not disappoint. Listen in as I share my journey and experience at the conference. I hope you put this conference on your bucket list. It is important to find your tribe and get out there!

In dental hygiene school, you have to take pharmacology. Drugs are an important component of the medical history and are used to support patients with a variety of conditions. It is important for the dental hygiene student to understand drug pharmacological effects, adverse reactions, side effects, and dental considerations. As providers, we should have an understanding of drug uses and precautions. In this episode, I speak with Rachel Leo Flagg, a professor who has been teaching pharmacology for over a decade to dental hygiene students about barbiturates and benzodiazepines similarities and differences. Rachel helps create an understanding of how to remember important information and the role of the dental hygienist when working with patients who are prescribed these drugs.

As I say.... "Those who know will grow."
