It’s the final A Tale of Two Hygienists episode of 2020. We made it, people! As part of the show’s year-end review, Michelle spoke with another beloved returning guest about their tumultuous 2020.

 

Dr. Pam Maragliano-Muniz is the Editor-in-Chief of DentistryIQ.com, the owner of Salem Dental Arts, an experienced prosthodontist and a hygienist even before that. Her years in the dental field have honed her insight into the natural and unnatural ways teeth break down.

 

In this episode, Dr. Maragliano-Muniz discusses how the pandemic gave her time to reflect on her work, delves into how PPE and ergonomics intersect, and explains why she’s “in heaven” at her practice these days.

QUOTES:

 

“As much as I don’t want to relive what happened in March/April/May, it was worth it for me because I feel like I finally have the team behind me that I’ve been really looking forward to having.”

 

“It was kind of heartwarming to see dentists, hygienists and assistants come together as a community.”

 

“If we can find some pieces of PPE that can make us comfortable, I feel like gosh, it’s such a win.”

 

“I feel like right now, less is more when it comes to being comfortable.”

 

“We’ve done more scalings than ever and patients are just so much more engaged with their oral hygiene.”

 

“I wanted to keep our patients informed without being annoying.”

 

“I am leaving 2020 with a lot of gratitude.”
