Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. We hear a lot about ways to stay healthy in our society; eat well, exercise, try to minimize stress. But are there specific concerns for dental hygienists? Today we'll be highlighting musculoskeletal disorder, the importance of proper ergonomics in our workplace and things that we can do in the operatory to maintain health for long term career satisfaction. Our guest is Schelli Stedke, who has worked in many areas of dentistry including clinical care and dental hygiene education.
