185: Build a Dental Hygiene Career That Fits You with Irene Iskander

Finding your dream path in dental hygiene rarely happens immediately after you graduate, but guest Irene Iskander shares how you can get there eventually. In this episode, Irene talks about how her unexpected start in dentistry, the challenges she faced in dental hygiene school, and years of exploring different practice settings ultimately led her to airway dentistry and myofunctional therapy. Dana and Irene discuss why it's normal to feel like you're memorizing just to make it through school, how lifelong learning continues well beyond graduation, and why asking yourself, "What do I want?" can shape a more fulfilling career.
