Michelle continues A Tale of Two Hygienists’ latest series on the selection, use and maintenance of dental instrumentation. This week’s discussion shines a light on ultrasonic technology, featuring a guest who’s such an expert on the topic that she makes sure the rest of the industry stays informed.

Based in Missoula, MT, Noel wants to create clarity, confidence and clinical excellence in the area of ultrasonics.
