Shelley Brown has attended the National Mobile Teledentistry Conference, hosted by Melissa Turner and Sonya Dunbar, for the past several years, and she says it helped her become a mobile provider, thinking outside the operatory.

Shelley has her own mobile unit that she uses to provide more access to care for people in Utah. She stresses that mobile dentistry gives hygienists more autonomy over the things they do.

Join Shelley’s Mobile Meetup on YouTube at Shelleythehygienist, where she talks about how to start a business, different equipment you’ll need, procedures she performs, and products that are available.

Learn more in this podcast about the first steps to take if you are interested in providing mobile dentistry in your area.
