For nearly 15 years, I’ve lived and breathed dental hygiene. After graduating from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center with a BS in dental hygiene in 2009, I became a private practice hygienist. From there, I joined Aspen Dental and worked in clinical hygiene for almost six years.

Cultivating a mentorship mentality in dental hygienists can reduce burnout, increase satisfaction, and propel career advancement. The profession of dental hygiene can be challenging, especially in a fast-paced practice. For both new graduates and seasoned hygienists, having a mentor who can offer guidance and support is invaluable. Over nearly 30 years in the dental field, I have benefited from many excellent mentors in my life, both personally and professionally.
