Ready to step into the op solo for the first time? 😬💉
This week, I'm joined by Sade Gammage, a passionate new grad who’s been practicing dental hygiene since May 2023 🦷. A proud community college graduate, Sade entered the field with a mission to bring diversity, empathy, and patience to every patient interaction. Her lifelong passion for dentistry shines through in everything she does, and in this episode, she shares a fresh perspective on what it’s really like stepping into the op as a brand-new RDH. Sade and I break down what really goes down your first day on the job; no instructors, no safety net, and a full schedule waiting 👀.
We get into:
🗓️ Time constraints and how to survive a packed schedule
😳 First-day awkwardness and tips for confidence
⚖️ Ethical dilemmas and trusting your gut
🧳 The truth about temping as a new grad
💬 Real talk, relatable advice, and laughs along the way
Whether your first day is coming up or you're in the thick of it, this one’s for you 💪🎧
