This month's Fast Facts: Perio Edition will be a series that Katrina refers to as... Are You Smarter Than A Dental Hygiene Student?

In this episode we review the Oral Mucosa and before you move past this thinking that you won't need this refresher, let us remind you that Oral Cancer screenings should be performed on each and every patient. Knowing what is "normal" for each tissue type is super important so please give this episode a listen. If you are an educator, please share this with a friend!

Being an Introvert with Jaymie Brigham, RDHAP and Andrew Johnston, RDH Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

For this week's TIPisode, Jaymie and Andrew did their best to give advice on being an introvert, and failed! It probably was too much for people to expect out of Andrew anyway ;)

But what we did come up with is how two self-proclaimed introverts are able to still have a passion and drive for the profession. If you are introverted, extroverted, an introverted extrovert, or an extroverted introvert (yes a real thing discussed Here), or anything in between - you have worth and we would welcome you to put your voices out there!
