A place to inspire, impact more smiles, and have less stress.
Our approach
Oral health specialists provide a skill set that is unique and sets us apart. We make people smile and comfort those who may struggle to visit the dental office. This is a place where one in dentistry can relate, collaborate, and support one another and educate those who have questions about their oral health or about getting involved in dentistry, the latest news, and products.
The dental world may set us apart but we welcome everyone with smiles we can also share a few laughs together.
About me
My name is Tania Preciado-Hermoso BASDH, I was born and raised in Wenatchee, Washington. I graduated from Wenatchee Valley College with my AAS and graduated from Tri-Cities, Columbia Basin College with my Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. I had no dental experience prior to dental hygiene school. I just knew I always wanted to get into the career field. Thankfully I always had a good experience going to the dentist…I was the odd child who loved going to the dentist. My cultural background had a role in why I chose dentistry; dental care is primarily seen when there is emergency care. I went into the career knowing I wanted to make an impact and educate people on oral health and focus on preventive care. Turns out there is a majority of people are unaware of the importance of oral health and that some people do not have access or resources to dental care in the United States. This drove me into pursuing my career as a dental hygienist.
The year of COVID-19 prepared us very well for our careers. We learned to be adaptable and quite frankly taught us just about everything to get us through the day. My journey through dental hygiene school taught me about personal development, constructive criticism, and advocating for myself. I decided to create a platform to give a rundown on dental hygiene, education, research, and products. I would love to share some experiences as a new graduate and make an impact in the dental community.
Opportunities
Can seem very limited in dental hygiene and believe me it took me a while to also find some inspiration outside of clinical dental hygiene I remember thinking and learning new skill sets in my everyday life. I went from working full time 4-5 days a week (hygiene overkill). I decided to go down for 4 days and now working part-time in clinical dental hygiene and pursuing much more. Dental hygiene is a high-demand job, with a flexible work schedule, and a good-paying career what else could you want right? Well, If you are anything like me you may have questioned a few times okay what else can I do? If you answered yes, I have a list for you.
