It is never too early to prepare for dental hygiene school or the national board exams! One thing to know before you go: Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can affect the liver. It is transmitted via infected bodily fluids. As a dental hygienist, we work closely with patients and their oral health, which means potential exposure to Hepatitis B found in blood and saliva. Also, hepatitis B can survive for at least 7 days in dried blood left on surfaces (such as the dental chair). Did you know that most dental hygiene schools require/recommend a Hepatitis B vaccine? This vaccine protects you from Hep B and protects your patients from possible transmission. Bonus: the Hep B vaccine also protects you from Hepatitis D, as well! Fun fact: there are 5 different types of hepatitis (A,B,C,D,E).

This week's episode features Allison Norris - owner of The Dentele Group. Allison helps dental hygienists who are interested in stepping out of the op and into non-clinical roles. Her #RDHoriginstory starts with enrolling in nursing school and then realizing that was NOT for her! I loved our conversation because Allison is completely honest and talks about how she often skipped class when she was working on her prerequisites. She tried this in dental hygiene school, but she remembers one of her favorite doctors telling her, " You're a bright girl, but If you don't start coming to class, you're gonna get kicked out." Well, she followed that advice and went on the be successful in both dental hygiene school and business.
