Are you feeling jitters for an upcoming interview for dental hygiene school? In this week's episode, educator and podcast host, Billie Lunt shares her perspective as a professor who is on the application committee! She talks about her #RDHoriginstory and how she developed a passion for dentistry, which all started when she developed a geminated tooth! Her advice is invaluable to those looking to get into hygiene school. You'll get to learn how she recommends students prepare for this life-changing transition and how to stay afloat despite the many hurdles that come with hygiene school. I love that she prioritizes students' well-being and is always seeking ways to improve her program. You can find her on Instagram @the_happy_flosser and on her podcast \"The Happy Flosser RDH\" for tips and tricks when you get that acceptance letter!
