29: Shaping Smiles and Minds with Billie Lunt (Host of the Happy Flosser RDH Podcast)

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! Looking for more resources?
