As dental hygienists, we put our patients first. This October, we are turning our focus inward to honor the inner strength, dedication and endurance that has pulled us together – and through – some of the greatest challenges in our careers and personal lives. Because when we create a daily practice of self-care and prioritizing wellness for others we all thrive. -ADHA
