Looking for some mentors on your path to becoming a dental hygienist? Fiona and I are perfect for the job! These “second-time” girlies didn't get into dental hygiene school on their first try yet managed to become educators in the field later down the road. With her passion for dentistry starting at a young age, Fiona was surprised to face some rejections on her path to becoming a dental health professional but shares that it led her to where she is today. She lives an exciting life as a hygienist - you will have to listen to hear it all!
