Two years ago, Dental Hygiene Basics was founded to provide educational tools to aspiring dental hygienists and help students transition into DH programs. Today, the mission remains the same, with the addition of awarding scholarships to dental hygiene students! I'm proud of the trajectory of DHB thus far and hope to continue supporting Future RDHs. Feedback for DHB is always appreciated, so please never hesitate to reach out with your questions or comments!

Sonia C. is joining in from London, and she is loving the chance to live life in the moment. It's one of her favorite forms of meditation! From resetting a frayed nervous system to focusing inward rather than on the chaos that is swirling around all of us, living in the moment brings bursts of creativity and connects us to our portals of intuitive listening.    This week's theme is: Find your personal lane of meditation.    Highlights: Nothing beats living in the moment. [:30]  Sonia T.'s intuitive listening led her to the thrift shop! [4:35]  Nothing calms a barking dog like meditation. [6:34]  What if I can't sit still long enough to meditate? [8:18] Transmissions of peace from Nana. [11:15] Sonia C.'s update from London. [13:26]  Scan the field and listen to those vibrations. [18:54] Intention first, then connection.

[43:25]  Question of the Week: Is the voice that guides me back to calm my spirit? [48:46]   The world feels so unstable right now, but we've got the perfect way to center yourself and quiet all of the noise. Get lost in the moment. Go for a walk, spend some time in your garden or yard, get creative. Meditation in its simplest form happens not when we are thinking, but when we are feeling. When you give yourself a moment that is worth getting lost in, you're giving yourself permission to dive into your intuitive portals.    Tune in and you'll hear exactly what the vibrations are telling you. Whether it's time to lean in or get out, being an intuitive, connected soul means that you have the power to honor your true self. Moving your hands will allow you to ease into a flow state. Clean your house, create art, or sit outside and listen with your body. We are all connected, through music, through heartbeats, and through vibrations. It's time to get out of your head and into your body. Are you ready to tune in?    Tool of the Week: Get a ribbon and move your body!

My favorite RDH origin stories are the ones of people who didn't originally plan to become dental hygienists and somehow fell into it and end up loving this career. That was the case for Wafaa, @the_hijabi_hygienist, an influencer hygienist practicing clinically for 9 years now. She faced challenges in her pre-req classes as a pre-med student, and just so happened to be getting orthodontic treatment at the university she was attending when she realized dentistry piqued her interest. She conveniently had all the classes she needed to apply for the dental hygiene program and ended up getting in on her first try. Right after gaining her license, she decided to jump into the dental hygiene master's of science program with aspirations of becoming an educator in the future. Wafaa admits to facing challenges through her schooling, but is glad she persevered and enjoys her career in dental hygiene as well as helping her followers become RDHs!

It's time to visit a favorite topic from the archives! Sonia C. has noticed a lot of her clients struggle with their body's natural energy. As empaths and naturally sensitive people, we have to really be connected to our physical body or else our own spirit shuts down and we won't be able to hear the important messages coming through.   This week's theme is: Keep grounded by listening to your body.   Highlights: Sonia T. knows if she doesn't move her body, her spirit gets squeezed out. [1:20] How does Sabrina stay grounded with her body? [3:00] Sonia C. knows when she takes care of herself, she can better filter other people's opinions out. [4:15] Sonia C. has learned that she can't work every day, she has to go outside, and she needs to be connected to the earth. [10:00] What self-care activities help the ladies keep grounded? [16:45] How do you stay grounded when you have such a fast-paced and busy day? [23:00] If you're more reactive to stressful energy, try a walk-and-talk meeting. [27:45] When you're grounded, you start minding your own business! [37:40] Tool of the Week: Reorient your day around the practices that connect with your body. [39:10] Question of the week: How does one determine if they are a farbissina? And if I am one, how do I change? [42:20] Sonia T. knows that if she doesn't move or have a physical connection with her body, not only does her spirit suffer but it has a direct effect on her ability to connect with her higher powers. As sensitive people, we get saturated with other people's energy and if you do not take time to ground yourself, then that's the start of the cookie crumbling.  Taking care of yourself physically is the most important thing you can do to live an intuitive life. Empaths need grounding! Sabrina has seen the negative impacts of an ungrounded intuitive. In fact, they actually end up overdoing things that come out through bad habits, like shopping, overconsumption of food, and more. However, if you take care of your inner needs, a lot of these external self-soothing strategies will subside.

[33:54]  Sonia T.'s experience with pulling the Tower card. [36:51]  Pull a card and see what happens next. [40:55]  What's coming up next. [42:58]  Tool of the Week: Get an oracle deck and start working with it. [44:35] Question of the Week: I'm excited but overwhelmed to use my oracle cards. Is there a right way to use them? [45:05]    Oracle cards are a hot topic in the spiritual intuition community, but some people are afraid of them! Did you know you can make your own oracle cards? Do you know how to shuffle them? Do you know what to expect from them? Oracle cards offer a beautiful way to connect with your guides and with your intuition, and they create a venue for connecting with your higher self. Think of the cards as a telephone! You connect with the cards, and your higher self makes a suggestion that you can choose to follow or consider.    Oracle cards can be a great source of reassurance. They can ignite your imagination and connect you with your older, wiser soul. The cards can guide you, highlight what you're resisting, and bring to light what you are most in need of at this stage of your life. Pull a card for some in-the-moment guidance and see what happens next!    Tool of the Week: Get an oracle deck and start working with it.   Question of the Week: I'm excited but overwhelmed to use my oracle cards.

When life deals you an unexpected blow, do you crumble or transform? For Briana Rice, a devastating collision with a semi-truck in 2021 didn't end her story, it began a powerful new chapter. Briana takes us through her remarkable journey from scientist and world traveler to traumatic brain injury survivor and advocate. With raw honesty, she shares how she initially thought her life was over after suffering brain and spinal injuries, only to discover that these challenges would become the catalyst for her greatest transformation. Through intensive rehabilitation, Brianna not only regained her strength but also found her voice as an advocate for brain injury awareness.Her path to healing led her to compete in and win the Woman of Achievement pageant with her platform "Grace for Your Journey", a message that resonates deeply with anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As Brianna explains, "Sometimes you have to crumble to put the pieces back together, to build something new and more beautiful." This philosophy anchors her work as an author in the anthology "Women We Are Stronger Together" and as the director of the Riverside Chapter for the Global Society of Female Entrepreneurs, where she creates spaces for women to support rather than compete with one another.Perhaps most touching is Brianna's dedication to honoring her friend Justin Bowman, a fellow brain injury survivor who passed away in 2024. Through her Blackberry Merlot wine festival and charitable foundation, she continues to raise funds for those who need treatment but cannot afford it. Brianna's story reminds us that our darkest moments often contain the seeds of our greatest purpose, and that with grace, resilience, and community support, we can not only survive our traumas but use them to create meaningful change in the world.Ready to find grace in your own journey?

When you quit drinking, you go through periods of learning how to parent yourself on your alcohol-free journey. Whether you're a parent, child-free, or somewhere in between, Sara and Heather dive deep into the power of becoming your own inner caregiver—your inner mother, father, or adult—and how sobriety makes space for that transformation. Quitting alcohol isn't just about removing something toxic. It's about rebuilding your life, one foundational brick at a time. In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to truly take care of yourself with the same love, structure, and consistency you'd offer a child. Inside the episode: Why learning to "adult" again is a key part of early sobriety The power of reclaiming routines like brushing your teeth and feeding yourself regularly Shifting from external validation to inner trust and rest Managing money, clutter, and time without avoidance or overwhelm Reconnecting with your purpose and relationships—starting with you Why small goals build big confidence How to know when your life needs “mothering” and what to do about it The 8 Pillars of Self-Parenting These are the daily acts and deeper commitments that help you build a secure, alcohol-free foundation: Self-Care – From sleep and skincare to hydration and medical appointments Feeding Yourself Well – Cooking (or assembling!) meals regularly and planning ahead Goal Setting – Starting with small wins to build self-trust Keeping a Clean Space – Creating visual calm and organizing in a way that works for you Money Management – Moving from avoidance to awareness and setting up systems that support your growth Healthy Relationships – Cultivating connection, patience, and presence with others Time Management – Saying no to overbooking and learning to slow down Purpose & Work – Letting go of old identities and tuning into what lights you up If you're feeling off in any area of life, these eight pillars—and their four overarching themes (Health, Home, Purpose, and Community)—can help you pinpoint where your inner parent needs to step in.

Building foundational knowledge is key to being successful in school, especially in dental hygiene school, where all the topics overlap with each other.

As a former educator at several dental hygiene programs and tutor for the DH national board exam, I've seen a pattern in students of those who succeed and those who fail and struggle in the classroom.
