Celebrating National Dental Hygiene Month
October marks National Dental Hygiene Month.
As we navigate through a global pandemic, and 2020 enters the final quarter, we recognize that dentistry has experienced some difficult times.
Dental Hygienists are valuable contributors to our dental practice business.
Let’s take a moment to congratulate them for their courage in an unprecedented year, and thank them for all they do.
LET’S CELEBRATE OUR DENTAL HYGIENISTS!
Registered Dental Hygienists have a wide range of talents ranging from: patient therapist, treatment case advocate, periodontal therapist, caregiver, oral-systemic health advocate, and so much more!
