How Boge 513 Dental Hygiene Instrument Will Help You Survive!
Coffee Chat with Anastasia | Greater New York Dental Meeting 2016
Thank you to my guest Emily Boge & American Eagle Instruments!
If you are to EVER view a video on dental hygiene instruments, grasp the why behind the design + where it will be effective AND add to your clinical skills …. THIS is the video to view!
Some 28 years ago, I purchased a book “Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist” written by Dr. Esther Wilkins. I was honored to have met Esther earlier this year at Yankee Dental Congress. Esther recently celebrated her 100th birthday, completed the 12th edition to our clinical book and still found the time to be open to new ideas for discussing how we … as a collective group can continually & successfully create a culture of prevention for our patients.
The fact she participated in a new informational format … the inauguration of Coffee Chat with Anastasia still humbles me. Thank you Esther … for your vision, passion, boldness, leadership, entrepreneurship & quick wit! You will be missed by all of us. Thank you to Crest Oral-B for Dental Professionals!
Education begins with a conversation. Cervical cancer survival rates have improved dramatically in the past 3 decades. Oral cancer has not. Why?
I believe an alliance must be formed by OBGYN and their team with dentists and their team in effort to save their patient’s lives. HPV is a risk factor for cervical cancer and oral cancer. What I find perplexing is how much resistance there is to have a discussion about prevention, risks and ask for screenings that can identify the current state of health. Early detection saves lives. Click this link for CDC facts on cervical cancer and HPV screening.
View how a conversation can be started on this week’s vide blog; ask your dental hygienist about oral cancer screenings via technology and how HPV is a risk factor.
Recently, a viewer asked about whether she should see her dental hygienist or not during her pregnancy. This week I answer that question in the video below!
At least 70% of women who are pregnant experiencing bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity or a toothache. Many will not seek help from a dental professional. If anything, this is the time to take THE best care of you! The current state of health in your mouth will impact your baby.
Here’s what you may not know about how your dental hygienist can be YOUR health advocate alongside your OBGYN during this amazing journey!
Your dental hygienist is licensed to co-diagnose and/or treat pregnancy gingivitis, gum disease, pregnancy granuloma, enamel erosion, dentin hypersensitivity, dry mouth, nutritionally guide you during morning sickness, inform you on what to look for regarding your baby being tongue tied, making breast feeding frustrating, painful and malnourishing to your child. Plan for laser treatment to release the tongue tie and guide you and your child with orofacial myofunctional therapy exercises.
I’m truly surprised how dental hygienists are still viewed at as “cleaning ladies”in 2016 and hope this week’s video shares some insight on our commitment to guide you to health!
This past weekend, I took time to reflect and celebrate goals that were achieved in 2015. I also celebrated goals that were not achieved!
Why? I believe some goals, whether personal or business, deserve another strategy for success. How to decide the deserve-ability factor in keeping them is determined by how attached to them you are. This edition of Route 32: The Highway To Health has TWO guest bloggers who share how to get YOUR best 2016 strategy for success! Click here!
Who says dentistry is a dry topic? 2015 celebrated Coffee Chats with Anastasia! Interviews are lively as products are discussed all while indulging in a great cup of coffee or tea! I am honored to capture my guests’ passion on how they or their products can make our lives easier and our patients lives healthier!
This week’s blog is short and content packed! Excited news to share with dental professionals who are attending our first major dental meeting, Yankee Dental Congress, this January!

Wrapping it up; my weekly video blog Anastasia’s Hump Day Happenings shares the results of a survey asking dental hygienists what would be on their wish list! Dentists and dental patients … take a listen!
