Episode 136: Expanding the Scope: Dental Therapy, Public Health, and Leading as a Pioneer with Alyssa Delgado

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Beyond the Prophy®, Jasmin sits down with Alyssa Delgado, educator, advanced dental therapy student, and Sunstar Award of Distinction recipient, for a powerful conversation about expanding scope, stepping into new roles, and answering the call to serve underserved communities.This conversation explores what it means to be a pioneer in a developing profession, the realities of dental therapy education in the U.S., and why ego and turf wars must give way to access-to-care solutions.This episode is not about “moving on” from hygiene.It’s about expanding what’s possible.If you’ve ever felt the pull toward something more, more responsibility, more education, more impact, this conversation will remind you that growth doesn’t require abandoning your foundation.Sometimes it simply means building on it.Connect with Alyssa:LinkedIn: Alyssa DelgadoInstagram: @mrsalyssardh Support the showBeyond the Prophy® is a podcast hosted by Jasmin Haley, MS, dental hygienist & assitant, educator, and founder of Legacy Scaler®. Learn more and explore past episodes at:www.beyondtheprophy.comConnect with Jasmin Haley on our website and LinkedIn for updates and new releases.
