Episode 8: Are you in the right room? Why it could make or break your dental hygiene career.

from Bite The Truth- Healthcare, Dental Hygiene, Non-Clinical Careers · host Kelsey Lynn, RDH and Penni Layne, RDH

In this episode, we ask a question every dental hygienist should seriously consider: Are you in the right room?Because the conversations you're part of, the voices you listen to, and the communities you engage with can either support your growth- or quietly wear you down. We're talking about the toxicity many hygienists are experiencing both clinically and online, especially in forums where burnout, frustration, and judgement often replace empathy and support. We share what we're seeing firsthand, why different career paths shouldn't be shamed, and how dismissing someone's experience only deepens isolation. We aren't here to attack our profession, we're here to protect the people in it. Because community and being in the right room really does matter.Xx, Kelsey and PenniIf you're ready for the next steps in your career, watch our free two-part web-class series HERE!Connect with us:Kelsey LynnInstagram: @fortitudewithkelsEmail: [email protected] LayneInstagram: @pennilaynerdhEmail: [email protected]
