How has your prior experience as a physician informed your work as a dental hygienist?
My prior experience as a physician has given me a strong foundation in medical knowledge and patient care. This knowledge has been helpful in understanding the whole-body health implications of poor oral hygiene, and I can better communicate with patients about how their oral health relates to their overall health.
What is one new technology or technique in dental hygiene that you are excited to try?
I am excited to try using intraoral cameras with my patients. These cameras allow me to take detailed images of a patient's teeth and gums, and then display them on a monitor. This allows patients to better understand the state of their oral health and enables us to identify potential issues earlier.
