166: Professional Etiquette for the Future RDH
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of professional communication habits for dental hygiene students and early-career clinicians.
If you’ve ever sent a quick email and immediately moved on, this episode may challenge you—in a useful way. Dana walks through how everyday communication habits, especially over email or messaging, shape your professional reputation long before you meet someone in person. For dental hygiene students and early-career clinicians, this isn’t about being overly formal—it’s about being intentional. A clear subject line, a respectful greeting, a concise question, and a simple thank you are not extra steps; they are baseline professionalism in a field where first impressions travel quickly. 🟠Start here: Get dental hygiene school tips, free resources, and access to upcoming student events →https://dentalhygienebasics.mykajabi.com/newsletter 🟠 When you're ready for boards: Become a StudentRDH VIP member → https://www.studentrdh.com/national-dental-hygiene-board-review-nbdhe-studentrdh-vip-club?utm_source=Referral%60&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=DHBasics&utm_content=DVIP3 🟠Want extra support + events?
