Edie Gibson, MS, RDH, has a mission to affect change. With over three decades of clinical and business expertise in dentistry, she opened About Face DH Spa in Crested Butte, Colorado, the first independent hygiene practice in Gunnison County. When spinal surgery ended her clinical career, she set out to empower other hygienists to own their profession and embrace proper ergonomic principles to help them avoid a similar fate. She is passionate about dentistry and inspiring other hygienists to take the leap into independent practice and public speaking.
