Staying within one's comfort zone can lead to boredom, apathy, and stagnation in the dental hygiene profession. Embracing new research, technologies, and practices is necessary to provide the best care for patients. Stepping out of one's comfort zone can be uncomfortable and challenging, but it leads to personal and professional growth. Consulting companies can bring about change, which can be uncomfortable, but it is important to embrace change for growth and improvement. Stepping out of our comfort zones is essential for personal and professional growth. Trying new technologies and treatment protocols can lead to improved patient care and satisfaction. Joining professional networks and organizations can provide valuable resources and connections. As dental hygienists, our work has the potential to be life-saving, and it's important to continuously seek growth and empowerment CHAPTERS
