Lauren
(Laurie) Brynda, RDH SCHOOL ATTENDED
Saint
Louis Community College Forest Park graduated in May 2010 Currently
in the degree completion program through UMKC school of Dentistry HOBBIES/INTERESTS When I
find rare free time I love to read mystery novels as well as shopping.
I just recently got married last October, so my husband and I are busy
with projects with the new house to make it our home. WHY I BECAME A DENTAL HYGIENIST I
became a dental hygienist to change the negative stigma that has unfortunately
been created in the dental field. Also,
I always loved getting my teeth cleaned, so that part just fit. BENEFITS OF BEING AN ADHA MEMBER I love
being able to support my profession and my career.
I feel very strongly that dental hygienists play a key role in the
patient’s overall health. Without
the dental hygienists I think the dental world would suffer greatly.
ADHA works hard to protect the dental hygiene name for us; I could not
imagine not being a member.
