It’s Mental Health Awareness Month and so Michelle has invited two experts in this area to join her for a discussion regarding managing your mind with patients and co-workers. Machele Galloway is a certified time and mind management coach who has appeared on the podcast before and is the founder of Lifeleap Coaching, LLC. In her work, Machele helps clients, including Michelle, with such aspects of their lives as time management and identifying unhealthy thought patterns so that they can create lives with which they are obsessed. New to the podcast is Kandice Swarthout, MS, RDH, LPC, a dental hygienist and Licensed Professional Counselor who delivers live continuing education courses. She has spoken at multiple Texas Dental Hygiene Association component continuing education events, Southwest Dental Conference, Last Friday CE for Professional Counselors, and various study clubs. Kandice is a faculty member at Collin College, and a contributing author to RDH Magazine among other publications. In today’s episode, Michelle and her guests review their own therapy experiences, and look at such topics as projection and personal responsibility, asking for support, stress management, and the need for hygienists to advocate for themselves. They also discuss potential ‘deal breakers’ in working conditions, managing your mind and soul, motivational interviewing, our ‘stories’ and our ’12 year old selves’, and conclude by offering tips for listeners and ideas on how to navigate social media forums.

Please Leave a Review! Michelle continues to indulge her love for and fascination with all things perio by interviewing a fellow hygienist who's trained on advanced periodontal tools that Michelle only wishes she could get her hands on. Amber Auger, RDH, is a speaker, professional coach and clinical trainer based in the Greater Boston Area. Apart from her comprehensive periodontal knowledge, Amber also has extensive experience using and training professionals on laser tools for the purposes of periodontal treatment. In this episode, Amber discusses the advantages of nuances of using lasers, explains where we can really make a significant change for both patients and professionals, and reveals why she's excited for the next ten years. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 7:49 - Amber takes us through her journey as a dental hygienist and discusses her experience with lasers. - How exactly are lasers used to treat periodontal disease? - Why you really need to take your time while probing. - The reason Amber establishes a personal connection with her patients before starting in on the serious questions. - What patients can do to test themselves for periodontal issues. - Why Amber and her colleagues implement a probiotic rather than antibiotic protocol for patients after laser treatment. - The trials and tribulations of convincing patients to use water picks. QUOTES: “It has been an absolutely amazing journey to dental hygiene.” “When I'm chatting with my patient and I'm sitting them down and reviewing their medical history, I take the time to sit and listen.” “When you're taking the time to empower them and educate them on a higher level, you're gonna have compliance through the roof as well as patients who follow you.” “We are met with opportunities as we think we are worthy of them.” “We need to be insurance-aware but not dictated by insurance.” LINKS: Amber's homepage: https://www.amberauger.com/ Amber's email: amberaugerrdh@gmail.com Amber on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmberAugerRDHMPH Amber on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberaugerrdh/ Amber on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmberAugerRDH THIS EPISODE COUNTS FOR CE! - but read the disclaimer below as it might not count for your state.
