Laura Bettencourt is a big believer in helping her fellow hygienists avoid the “hamster wheel” of dental hygiene that can lead to career burnout. She found what she believed to be her forever dental home, but life and a move changed that.
She found that learning was her passion, and she wants to help ignite that love of learning in her peers. Laura feels that learning new things, bringing new information to patients, and keeping things fresh in teh op can help RDHs avoid the dreaded burnout.
Be curious! Ask about patients, coworkers, updates in dentistry, technology, and so much more. Constantly look for growth and more opportunities will follow. She advises people not to let moving forward intimidate them. Start small, and there are plenty of opportunities. You can start with Laura’s company, L’Diamante Dental Hygiene Coaching.
