Hi Emma! Just a quick question. In your video you mentioned you mainly perform as a hygienist and refer therapy-based treatments to the dentist or another OHT. Was just wondering if this is down to personal preference or were you employed as a hygienist? Very curious to hear! Currently studying OHT and definitely prefer and feel more confidence with the perio/hygiene side of things. I know I will build confidence as well but do think I will always prefer hygiene x

Hey, wonderful advice,
Would you mind sharing is OHT is a financially well rewarded career too? Thank you
