Important conversations for the profession
This podcast covers the topics that matter for dental hygienists who care about their professional future — licensure reciprocity, direct access, Medicare coverage, and the systemic changes that could transform how hygienists practice.
The format is more educational than entertaining, which suits the subject matter. Some episodes are exceptional, particularly when they feature hygienists doing groundbreaking work in community health settings.
The professional voice the hygiene community needed
Hygiene Rising fills a genuine gap — a podcast that takes dental hygienists seriously as professionals and advocates, not just clinical technicians. The ADHA connection gives it access to national leaders and policy discussions that no independent hygiene podcast can match.
The coverage of scope of practice expansion, direct access hygiene, and workforce issues is particularly valuable for hygienists who want to understand and shape the future of their profession. Essential listening for any RDH engaged with the bigger picture.
