77: How to Build Foundational Knowledge to be Successful in Dental Hygiene School

Building foundational knowledge is key to being successful in school, especially in dental hygiene school, where all the topics overlap with each other. I've dedicated this episode to explaining why it's important and tips on implementing this into your study routine. As a former educator at several dental hygiene programs and tutor for the DH national board exam, I've seen a pattern in students of those who succeed and those who fail and struggle in the classroom. Students who perform well tend to have a good foundational knowledge of these topics, helping them to connect the dots and think critically. Tune in for my best tips on building foundational knowledge.
