Nearly everyone has heard about the 8% of dental hygienists who did not return to the profession after the COVID-19 pandemic. But what about the other 92%? You have made a commitment to caring for patients now and in the future—and the future is full of exciting possibilities. New tools and strategies are continuously being introduced to increase and improve your treatment capabilities. That 92% is mighty.
The tools in your armamentarium are key wherever you practice, and our commitment to keeping you up to date on the latest products remains strong. In July and August, we have CE webinars from Tina Clarke, RDH, on anesthetics and topicals and Lory Laughter, RDH, MS, on remineralization, enamel strength, and xylitol. We encourage you to attend both offerings, either live at CDEWorld.com/webinars/live or on-demand at insidedentalhygiene.com.
Lastly, no discussion of the advancement of the profession would be complete without acknowledging the contributions of American Dental Hygienists' Association CEO Ann Battrell, MSDH, who passed away in June. The entire Inside Dental Hygiene team passes along our deepest sympathies to her family and friends.
