RDH UNDER ONE ROOF – The Superbowl of Hygiene Conferences No interview today! Congrats to Andrew's best friend Todd and his wife Heather on their new baby! Andrew is not a terrible father - kinda Why you should sit in first class while your children sit in coach A break down of the previous episode What would an ATOTH behind the scenes, bloopers reel, or after show look like Andrew makes threats to Emily Boge as well as Carlos, Peter, and Kara Michelle and her friend crashed their boat while still on land… #talent More craziness ensues Come have coffee with Michelle and MouthMate – look for the invitation here and be sure to RSVP! https://www.facebook.com/aTaleOfTwoHygienists/

Andrew wasn't able to record this week so Michelle found her some friends- new and old- and brought them on for this week's episode. Michelle is also really annoyed that Andrew fibbed about his b-day and because of that she is auditioning other guygienists. She doesn't hide her annoyance on this week's episode. Oh Michelle, always the dramatic one. Michelle and the wonderful and smart Kara Vavrosky- better known as Kara, RDH- catch up and talk about how much fun they are going to have at RDH UOR. Don't forget to come find Michelle and Andrew for your chance to be on the podcast! Today's interview is with Carlos Rodriguez, RDH. He is a guygienist/comedian. He is bringing his act onto the speaker circuit and Michelle has no doubt there will not be a dull moment in his presentations! Michelle doesn't behave herself in this podcast so if you are easily offended, maybe this isn't the one for you. She just can't behave herself when she gets around funny people! Instead of the segments this week, Michelle brought another guygienist on the podcast, Peter Gangi. He has been in the dental profession for 20+ years and comes from a family of dentists. He is an educator, hygienist, and has had many roles in ADHA. He has a great message for students/new grads/ seasoned hygienists. Michelle is shocked at all these male hygienists who have been practicing for years! Peter is also vying for Andrew's job as co-host. Watch out Andrew.

Evidence-based methods are used to show city councils and local government officials the truth about fluoride. We talk about the anti-fluoride groups and what their biggest claims are and how to discuss (or not to sometimes) the issues in a civilized manner. Matt encourages people not to debate – just show them the facts! http://tapintohealthyteeth.org/ http://ilikemyteeth.org/ http://fluoridescience.org/ https://simplepay.com/blog/top-funny-dentistry-stories-havent-heard-yet/ Come see us at RDH UNDER ONE ROOF in August!

DISCLAIMER: Please note that Michelle and Andrew are amateurs and this information is new to the both of them. There are plenty of missteps throughout this interview. We hope that this can be a learning session for everyone, and that we can all continue to work together to be kind to one another. Andrew and Cassandra grew up together and Cassandra is a member of the Trans community. We discussed "Dead Naming" and name selection We discuss her childhood and when she felt "wonkadoodle" We talk about body issues and high school We continue through her first 4 years of undergrad at University of Washington (U-Dub) and then follow her to Law School at LSU! She explains about buying hormones online and how that's not safe and unrelated health issues. When people make mistakes with their words towards a transgender person, how much grace is given or should be expected? Which words or phrases should be avoided at all costs? What are some dental considerations we need to be aware of? We discover new terms!!! http://transhealth.phsa.ca/ https://www.vox.com/2015/2/18/8055691/transgender-transgendered-tnr https://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender If you have questions for Cassandra, PM us on Facebook and we will pass the question along and get back to you!

Disclaimer - This is less about dental hygiene and more about real life so if you are into the podcast because you are such a dental nerd, this one might be a harder listen! IF you are into the podcast because you like to listen to people talk on things that are "hygiene adjacent" then this is for you! This is probably the most entertaining episode we have done! Andrew sits down with Sandy Lee and Mike during Chicago Midwinter and just catch up. We talk about so many things. Andrew tries to convince Sandy to start her own podcast and then things unravel quick! Enjoy this one!

Student Acceptance Protocol, Board Exams, and Calibration, oh my! Enjoy this faculty roundtable from Chicago Midwinter 2017!
