Show Notes
Your prerequisite courses do more than help you qualify for dental hygiene school—they build the foundation you’ll rely on throughout your education and clinical career. There’s a common narrative being shared that anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, psychology, communication, and even math are “just boxes to check,” but this is far from the truth. Challenge yourself to see how these subjects connect directly to patient care, critical thinking, pharmacology, periodontal disease, instrumentation, and clinical decision-making. This episode offers a practical perspective on why prerequisites matter for the future RDH and how strengthening your study skills early can make dental hygiene school more manageable.
