This week’s conversation is a special one.

I’m sitting down with the brilliant Kathryn Mayo, a clinician, educator and leader who has helped shape what modern dental hygiene looks like today.

We talk about:

– how she first got started in dentistry

– finding your niche (and having the courage to own it)

– why collaboration will always outperform competition

– clinical growth through implants and MINST

– stepping into education

– staying curious and continually expanding your knowledge

– and what it really means to lift a profession skywards…
