Show Notes


Dental hygienists are increasingly breaking out of traditional roles in the clinical setting and exploring other opportunities. Debi Rubino Dencek is my guest on this episode- she is a dental hygienist and the founder of CordEze®. Her product was designed to reduce stress on hygienists’ wrists and prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The innovation of her product is impressive, but just wait until you hear her dental hygiene story and how she got a full-ride for her bachelor’s degree!
