🦷 Mindful Monday: Your Body Matters, Too!

As dental hygienists, we spend countless hours caring for our patients—but are we taking care of ourselves?

Small ergonomic adjustments can make a big difference in preventing neck, back, shoulder, and wrist pain. Remember to:
✔️ Sit with a neutral spine
✔️ Keep your shoulders relaxed
✔️ Position your patient—not your body
✔️ Use magnification loupes when appropriate
✔️ Take a few moments between patients to stretch and reset

Your career is a marathon, not a sprint. Prioritizing proper ergonomics today can help protect your health for years to come.

💜 What's one ergonomic habit that has made a difference in your practice? Share it in the comments!

Here is a link to a FREE CE! by dentalcare.com (1.5 CE)
"The Ergonomic Glow Up"
https://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/ce-courses/ce723

An evidence-based framework will be presented to help answer important patient questions around constructing an oral care routine for optimizing oral health, including product selection, product use, and usage habits.

🦷💜Join AzDHA for our first virtual CE event of 2026 as we welcome Debbie Seidel-Bittke to explore the powerful connection between oral health and the brain.

Discover how oral health directly influences brain function and Alzheimer’s Disease prevention. This course empowers dental hygienists to recognize early signs of oral inflammation, strategically sequence hygiene appointments, and apply evidence-based protocols to reduce systemic inflammation and support whole-body health. Transform your role as a preventive care specialist and help patients live longer, healthier lives through improved oral and cognitive health.

WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING APPROVAL FOR CALIFORNIA CE

Course Objectives:

● Examine the biological links between periodontal inflammation and Alzheimer’s

disease.

● Recognize oral and systemic risk factors associated with cognitive decline.

● Identify early oral indicators that may signal increased dementia risk.

● Implement prevention-focused periodontal strategies that support brain health.
