Quotes:

"My journey as a dental hygienist has been such a wonderful gift."

"My dental hygiene students offer such a wonderful and unique perspective to public health."

"It is a great opportunity for those dental hygienists to stay in oral health, but expand their skill set."

"We have a 150 year perspective on public health."

"We have the ability to influence public policy."

"A seat at the table is only valuable if you use your voice."

"We said stand by you shoulder to shoulder and support you, and they said that they supported us as well."

"We looked at the science and coordinated with the experts, and when we say experts we are referring to individuals who have decades of research experience in specific topics."

"Science is the trajectory of finding facts, of finding out truth."

"There are a lot of things we no longer do in dentistry because the science showed us there are better ways of doing things."
