Tina's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From her beginnings in Iran to her career in Canada, she shares her unique perspective on growing up during a time of political upheaval and the challenges her family faced. Tina's mother's resilience and her own determination are at the heart of her inspiring story.

But Tina's journey doesn't stop there. She explores her dental hygiene career, where she found her passion for restorative dental hygiene. Her experience in Alberta, where dental practices have a broader scope of practice, including local anesthesia administration by RDH's which is fascinating and we both agree, needed here in Ontario. Tina emphasizes the importance of professional unity across provinces despite variations in scope of practice.

This episode is sponsored by our friends at Phillips, and it was recorded live at the the Ontario Dental Association meeting in Toronto, live on the trade show floor. Tune in to learn about the technology behind disrupting dental biofilm and the differences between Sonicare toothbrushes and hear from some info about the differences between oscillating-rotating toothbrushes and Philips Technology. Frequency and amplitude are key, and Sonicare's innovation in this area is game-changing.
