Continuing the Pursuit of Excellence

As another year winds down, Inside Dental Hygiene thanks you, our readers, for your dedication to providing the best patient care possible and for allowing us to assist in that mission. Thanks to your enthusiasm and hunger for learning, Inside Dental Hygiene was able to increase from a quarterly publication in 2021 to bi-monthly this year. Next year, our circulation also will increase by 33% to 60,000. We look forward to embracing the challenge of serving a wider range of dental hygienists.

Of course, 2022 is not over yet. With the holiday season upon us, Inside Dental Hygiene is the gift that keeps on giving, as this issue features an informative cover story about one of the hottest topics in dental hygiene—probiotics. We also have a CE article about considerations for bone marrow transplant patients that we hope all dental professionals—not just dental hygienists—will find useful, along with a Lifestyle piece about balancing work with parenthood, a Tech Update on artificial intelligence, and more.

Finally, don't miss the final installment of the Hygiene Leaders Webinar Series, when India R. Chance, BSDH, RDH, presents "Educating Patients on the Importance of Their Medical History" on Monday, December 5.
