A Time to Celebrate Hygienists

Spring is a season of renewal, and there's no better time to celebrate the incredible work of dental hygienists. As we move into April, let's reflect on the lasting impact we have on our patients' lives, from the youngest smiles to those who need dental implants.

In this issue, our cover story highlights the crucial role dental hygienists play in pediatric care. We explore how our work shapes healthy habits in children, helping them develop positive attitudes toward oral health to last a lifetime. By balancing effective education with compassionate care, we build trust and foster a future of healthy smiles. Also featured is our C.E. article, on dental implant management, by Isis Marsh, RDH, MS, and Catherine Monchik, RDH, MS. With dental implants becoming increasingly prevalent, this article offers valuable insights into implant maintenance, peri-implant diseases, and innovative strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
