Reflecting on last week, I’m filled with a deep sense of pride and gratitude for being part of this incredible profession. National Dental Hygienists Week was a beautiful reminder of how passionate, dedicated, and connected we are as dental hygienists. So many of you shared your love for our profession, and it reinforced something I’ve felt for a long time…

I don’t know of any other profession where the connections run as deep as they do in dental hygiene. Among my family and friends and their own jobs or careers, I rarely see the same kind of opportunities to come together for special events—or the support, camaraderie, and genuine encouragement for one another’s growth—that we experience in our field. And how amazing is that?

I had the privilege of spending this past weekend at the Dental Hygiene Practitioners of Ontario retreat, speaking to a room filled with 120 current and aspiring practice owners—from across Ontario and even a few from Nova Scotia! It was nothing short of incredible. The energy, the inspiration, the willingness to share, support, and lift each other up… it was next-level.

If you have your own practice in Ontario and haven’t joined this group yet—what are you waiting for? You will love it. Truly. And if you’re thinking about becoming a practice owner one day, start now by joining the group and be sure to attend next year’s retreat. I’ll be there again and would love to see you.

We are part of something really special in this profession. Let’s keep nurturing these connections, growing together, and celebrating the unique bond we share as dental hygienists.

Wishing you a great week ahead!
