Throughout second year, I have learned and grown a lot in my developing dental hygiene practice. I learned to value clinic time as this is what will expand my knowledge in different or unusual cases. Making the proper referrals, both for oral medicine and to the dentistry program will help alleviate my client’s chief concern. I also learned the importance of all protocols as this is critical in shaping the client’s understanding of my practice and will aid in building rapport with my clients. As well, it is my duty as a oral health professional to follow all protocols as detailed by the College of Dental Hygienists British Columbia (CDHBC). Upholding the highest level of professionalism is necessary to providing the best possible treatment.
