Description

Andrew Johnston, RDH: I am a Registered Dental Hygiene graduate from the Yakima Valley Community College Dental Hygiene Program in 2009. I hold three degrees including a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and currently working towards my MBA. First and foremost, I am a husband and a father to my wife and three children. When I have time to get away, I regularly lecturer at dental hygiene programs throughout the USA. I also speak at dental hygiene societies and associations. In 2013, I was asked to be a faculty member for DDS - Dental Development Seminars. My role includes mentoring and instructing dental professionals in technique driven delivery of local anesthetic. As the only hygienist on the faculty, I focus on being a liason between the dentists and hygienists to build trust and understanding between the two groups by helping ensure competency, accuracy, and confidence in the hygienist attendees.   I also write, blog, and am a regular contributor on Hygienetown.com. I write articles for a number of publishings including my own blog http://andrewjohnstonrdh.blogspot.com. I am a regular panel member for Mark Frias' roundtable discussions and have been interviewed by Dr. Howard Farran for his Dentaltown podcast. In the future, I hope to be lecturing at regional and national conferences on my local anesthesia review course. My "Charitable Dentistry" lecture is a compilation of many years of mission trips and charity work throughout the world. I have volunteered my time and efforts with local programs such as the Union Gospel Mission's dental office, YVCC sealant days, the Boy Scouts of America, and as a coach for the local parks and rec teams. Nationally, I have consulted for dental teams and offices interested in learning how to participate in charitable ventures. I provide research that is specific to the desires of the team at no charge to them. Internationally, I have been on mission trips in the Philippines, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.   Linda Douglas, RDH: Linda M Douglas graduated as a dental hygienist from the Royal Dental Hospital in London, England in 1982. After graduation she worked in periodontology before moving to Toronto, Canada where she has worked in private practice since 1990. Her desire to support patients with eating disorders has instigated in-depth study of eating disorders, and its effect on oral health.   Daniel Lopez, RDH: Daniel Lopez is a dental hygienist currently working at the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York.  He has extensive training in the management and treatment of HIV/AIDs patients.
