Dental Hygiene Basics

Do you want to become a dental hygienist? The Dental Hygiene Basics Podcast is hosted by Dana, a dental hygienist and dental hygiene educator. While there are several resources that help students during and after dental hygiene school, there are few available for those who are applying to dental hygiene school. Dental Hygiene Basics was founded to provide insight into the admissions process, display alternative career paths for dental hygienists, and highlight the path to a successful first year of dental hygiene school. Dana has worked with first year dental hygiene students as an educator, and she has seen the struggles they face throughout the application process and their first year of school. Dana believes that preparation powers performance. By sharing personal stories, Dana and her guests motivate, encourage, and prepare future dental hygiene students for these experiences. The goal is to help YOU become a registered dental hygienist! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How to Do Less in Dental Hygiene School

    Register for "A Night with Teacher Tina" on January 28th at 7:00 pm CT HERE!! Do you ever feel like you’re not living in the moment? It’s probably because you need to “Do Less.” And doing less isn’t what you think it is- I'm not telling you to quit everything you’re doing or do the bare minimum. It simply comes down to living in the moment you are in presently, allowing yourself to enjoy the now instead of worrying about what happened 5 minutes prior or whatever task you have ahead of you. The concept of doing less can actually take you more places because- once you master this skill- you’ll feel less burnt out, less stressed, and more satisfied with yourself. Trust me when I say this isn’t something you learn to do overnight- in fact, it’s still something I’m working on after years of practice! I’ve seen a drastic change in my mental health and overall happiness by doing less, taking a step back, and reminding myself to be present and calm. The truth is, no one can work at full efficiency 24/7 without reaching a breaking point so my best advice to dental hygiene students is to master how to do less. Learn all about it in this episode!
