Even skilled and experienced dental hygienists lose their passion and fall into a cycle of self-doubt and fear — worried about being judged or not being seen as proficient. At this in-person workshop you’ll gain comprehensive skills and knowledge in various clinical concepts that will give you the competence, confidence and recognition you need to deliver the best dental care to your patients.
