To succeed in dental hygiene school, it’s important to step away from memorizing the lecture material and focus on the skill of asking why. Dana explains why knowing facts isn’t enough—and how exam questions, clinical reasoning, and long-term retention all depend on understanding cause-and-effect. Here’s the tip she gives to students to maximize their comprehension: when studying, practice explaining concepts out loud without notes. If you can’t clearly explain the concept, that’s your cue to go deeper. This simple habit improves exam performance, clinical confidence, and your ability to think like a dental hygienist—not just pass a test.
