  • THE podcast for Hygiene News!

    As a dental hygienist from Texas, I know my practice challenges are different from other states. I love this podcast because it helps me feel connected to the rest of our dental hygiene community and appreciate your work to give ADHA/ national information and state level issues as well. Thank you!

Where Dental Hygiene Doctoral Education Goes Next (Ep 189)
Q: Does this mean we're all going to have to go back to school and get a doctorate?
No. There are multiple pathways, including entry-level options, and only some individuals may choose to pursue doctoral study to affect education, policy, or leadership; it is not a mandatory requirement for clinical practice.
ADHA26 PODversations: Saturday, September 26 (Ep 186)
Q: What are the key steps in using Caries Risk Assessments in practice?
Use a patient-centric interview to capture medical history, dry mouth, and other risk factors, then combine these with past treatments to build a case for preventive care like fluoride, always tying the recommendation to the patient's overall health and lifestyle.
ADHA26 in Fort Worth, Texas: Know Before You Go! (Ep 184)
