The Philips Heart to Hands award is a celebration of the personal stories from dental hygienists about why they have such passion for their careers. Every dental hygienist has a memorable, poignant, or endearing story about a patient they’ve treated, a student they’ve met, or a personal experience they’ve had in the profession. Is there a patient whose dental or overall health you’ve had a great impact on? What happened in your life that made you fall in love with dental hygiene?
