The Coronavirus pandemic brought to the surface and deepened the growing unhappiness and dissatisfaction many dental hygienists are having with clinical practice. While it is tempting to play the ‘blame game’ –the doctor, the office manager or your professional association, the key to restoring the value of the dental hygienist lies within ourselves. This course will explore how five essential skills can help you regain your love of dental hygiene and lead you to your best life at work and home.
