radiographic interpretation can be challenging when you are learning. There is so much to look at on your radiographs that are varients of normal, anatomy, and early disease detection. It is time consuming to get the skills down so you are able to confidently look at radiographs and see all the important components as part of your assessment. In this episode, we take a look at some of the radiographic findings that can show up when we least expect it. We get focused on determining clinical attachment loss and early decay, that we can sometimes miss pathology. Lets break this down together!

How we show up to treat our patients as a dental hygienist is up to us. We can make or break our own day when we show up with the wrong mindset or negative self-sabotage. I compiled a list of things that have really helped my clinical days as a dental hygienist. It can be one of those careers that produce significant early career burnout and dissatisfaction - if you are not careful.I worked for almost thirty years as a dental hygienist. Some of the things on my list were the primary reasons behind how I was able to overcome the limits and remain grateful for the ability to perform the job. I love this profession, and I want others to see the value it can bring to your soul - if you take the time to look at things the way they can be seen.

This conversation left me considering so much of how I speak and listen to others. As a dental hygienist, we spend so much of our time communicating with others. Sometimes we may miss the most impactful component of communication - listening and confirming that we understand. This conversation with Julie Leparri was truly enjoyable and inspired me to reconsider how I communicate with others. She is a expert mentor in so many aspects of communication and body language - I encourage you to listen with the intention of understanding her advice.I am looking forward to her book release later this fall. We chat about many concepts she covers in the book as it is being developed. Her insight and knowledge has inspired me to be a better communicator and challenge some of my own bad habits when working with others.

Listen in as we discuss the research behind career satisfaction and challenges faced by the profession of dental hygiene. The research looks into the areas of the profession that the RDH finds to be both meaningful and challenging. Linda articulates the research in a way that left me feeling profoundly aware of the work that needs to be done to create a shift for the profession. Meaningful work is at the core of the profession - the research was eye-openingBurnout is real - this research goes a long way into discovering the necessary steps we need to take to make the changes that will keep more people following their passion to provide high quality care to patients. The research also looks at the areas that are going well in the profession and points out things we can build on to continue to grow and thrive. I loved this conversation and hope you will find it beneficial and motivational for yourself as much as I did.

As a dental hygiene student, you will need to develop an understanding of the difference between community dental health as it relates to patient care and what you provide your patients in the opertory. Scope of knowledge and policy development will be key indicators of future impact on what the dental hygienist will be able to do around the area of prevention in communities.
