Dental Hygiene Mentors Needed!
​
Remember all the questions you had when you graduated from dental hygiene school?
​

How should I interview?
-
What do I wear?
-
Professionalism questions.
-
How do I network with other hygienists?
-
What are some dental hygiene tricks of the trade?
-
What do I do in situations I’m unsure of (clinical practice/ethics)?
​
In order to participate:
