Our Book

The Dental Hygiene Hack

“The Dental Hygiene Hack: Untold Secrets, Must-Have Apps, and Essential Strategies for Success in Hygiene School” is a groundbreaking resource for prospective dental hygiene students. Written by Dr. Tonya Jeffries, this book provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the dental hygiene school journey, offering valuable insights into the admissions process, expectations, and challenges of the first semester.

This unique resource not only helps students decide if dental hygiene is the right career path but also sets them up for success by providing a foundation of knowledge before stepping into the classroom.

Alongside the book, we offer an innovative app designed specifically for dental hygiene students. The app is the only tool currently available that helps students track the completion of clinical requirements throughout the entire curriculum, right at their fingertips. It allows students to organize and manage their clinical requirements, making the often-overwhelming task of tracking hours and tasks more manageable.

Together, the book and app offer a complete solution for students to excel in their studies and clinical training, ensuring that they are well-prepared for the demands of dental hygiene school.
