Are You Up to Date in Dental Hygiene and Prepared for the Future?
Fort Lauderdale, FL •Friday, November 6, 2015 • 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.
We all would like to say we are current in our dental hygiene practice, but are we really? Are you still thinking the way you did when you graduated? Did you step away from your career for a few years or change employment and realize you’re “out of step” with the standard of care? Are you currently practicing or are a recent graduate and want to gain insight on what you will need for a future in dental hygiene?
