The new year offers fresh opportunities to strengthen skills and expand horizons. It's an ideal time to renew our focus on what hygienists do best: delivering exceptional preventive care. Education plays a key role in this focus, and Inside Dental Hygiene remains dedicated to providing valuable resources to support your ongoing professional development.
In this issue, our cover story features insights from veteran hygienists and educators on how imaging and scanning technology can elevate care and enhance communication with patients. Our continuing education article, by Layal Bou Semaan, DDS, and Maria L. Geisinger, DDS, MS, explains how assisting patients with stress management and treatment of mental health can help improve their overall periodontal health.
Don't forget to visit our website, insidedentalhygiene.com, where you'll find an extensive library of CE courses, webinars, free downloadable eBooks, and our archive of back issues. One of our newest offerings is a video podcast called A Strange Curiosity, hosted by Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH. This dynamic series keeps you informed on the latest innovations and best practices in the industry. Each video features an interview with a special guest. There are installments on topics such as sustainable hygiene and responsible work practices, waterline testing, and much more. How many episodes have you explored?
Here's to an exciting and productive year ahead!
