Yesterday, I posted a short story about bitterness.
We all have those stories, tamed over time, and even accepted that they hardly could change.
Today, it was a brand new day. We were talking about ways of reaching out to everyone involved in dental healthcare work. Moving toward conversation and measured, timely advocacy for the causes we hold dear to our hearts is a marathon with exponential rewards.
What is important to dental hygienists? What is elevating our profession to the next level? What is the best next step we need to take?
Many answers, more questions, and ideas we've heard at the CDHA Leadership Development Symposium 2025 in Toronto.
The most impressive was the dedication and professionalism of friends and colleagues around the country.
Today, my short burst of disapproval, though authentic and truthful, was modified by understanding how much persistent efforts in improving education, mutual respect and support, is contributing to claiming our voices for the best in our guild.
Primum non nocere.
