· Rockstar Coaches: Dentists who’ll hype their profits to greatness, neglecting their patients' overall health. It's a win-win for their overhead!

Nevada Dental Association KTVN 2 News 8 News Now Joe Lombardo for Governor American Dental Hygienists' Association
Nevada Dental Association, enough is enough.
Your actions are disgraceful, and it’s time you feel the weight of the damage you're attempting to cause at the sake of your state's citizens' health.
Stop playing political games with the health and well-being of the people you claim to serve. This isn’t just irresponsible — it’s shameful.
Let’s not pretend: not a single public citizen in Nevada is asking for or wants what you’re proposing. No one wants to be treated by someone who lacks proper education, training, and licensure. That fact should rattle you to your core. Find just one Nevadan who genuinely supports being cared for by an unqualified provider — you won’t.
The Nevada Board of Dentistry was created to protect the PUBLIC, not to serve as a puppet for profit-driven agendas. Attempting to gut the qualifications required to be a licensed dental hygienist is a direct betrayal of that mission. It is an affront to professionalism, public trust, and the very foundation of healthcare ethics.
How dare you push SB495 mere days after AB334 passed — legislation that expanded licensure for qualified hygienists from other states. Within days, you pivot to proposing a bill that attempts to erase the very profession you just acknowledged as vital. That’s not just hypocritical — it’s morally bankrupt.
And instead of advocating for hygienists to practice independently — a reasonable, evidence-based solution embraced by other states — you’d prefer to hand over patient care to individuals with no formal education or credentials. Let’s be honest: this isn’t about improving access. It’s about control and profit and your priorities are loud and clear.
You claim this won’t "lower standards?" Are you serious? Do you actually expect anyone — especially those within the profession — to believe that eliminating educational and licensing requirements won’t result in a dangerous drop in care quality? Your attempt at convincing the state legistlature is also a slap in their face. No matter how much you try to twist the narrative, your lies, propaganda and deception need to stop NOW.
If you claim there’s a shortage of hygienists, then prove it. Provide the data. Show your work. Cite your sources. Give the facts. I want numbers for proof and not from your "buddies in the club." Otherwise, stop weaponizing misinformation. This is healthcare — not a business venture.
Stop presenting opinion as fact. In dentistry, we base our practice on actual research, not opinion. You do know this, right?
Your relentless efforts to suppress, devalue, and now potentially erase a licensed healthcare profession speak volumes. You’re not protecting the public. You’re protecting your pockets — at the expense of patient safety.
And let’s not ignore the cowardice of disabling comments on your public posts. What are you so afraid of — the truth?
This is not leadership. This is a betrayal of your oath, your duty, and the public trust.
You should be ashamed. All of you.

Did you use a Wilkins textbook!? Which color did you use? Esther Wilkins, the “matriarch of dental hygiene” created the textbook used by thousands of dental hygienists worldwide and is currently on its 16th edition.
🦷 1. She wrote the textbook on dental hygiene
Dr. Wilkins authored "Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist", which is considered the bible of dental hygiene. First published in 1959, it's been through multiple editions and is still used in dental hygiene programs today.
👩⚕️ 2. She helped establish dental hygiene as a profession
In the 1940s and 50s, dental hygiene was still growing as a field. Dr. Wilkins was one of the pioneers who helped define it through teaching, practice, and writing.
🎓 3. She created the first dental hygiene program in Massachusetts
In 1949, she developed the dental hygiene program at the University of Washington, and later was instrumental in shaping education at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
⏳ 4. She was active in the field for over 70 years!
She lived to be 100 years old, and she was still lecturing and writing into her late 90s. Her impact spanned generations of dental professionals.
🏅 5. The “Esther M. Wilkins Lifetime Achievement Award” is named after her
This prestigious award is given annually by the American Dental Hygienists' Association to recognize outstanding contributions to the profession.
✍️ 6. She revised her textbook herself—even in her 90s
She was personally involved in editing and updating her textbook well into her 90s, keeping it relevant for new generations of students.
💡 7. She originally planned to become a physician
Before switching to dentistry, she started in pre-med, but fell in love with dental hygiene and never looked back.

Are you overwhelmed trying to choose how to study for your NBDHE? From online modules, in person or live streaming three day seminars, used textbooks on your own, to even private tutors. What is your guaranteed path to success?
Did you know? Purchasing used textbooks can often provide old and inaccurate information as well as not having access to practice questions and the most recent board alerts! One reason AndyRDH has a 100% pass rate is due to waiting until December to include the most recent board alert study tips that students wish they knew! Don’t spend your time focusing on board alerts from previous years!
Did you know? Private tutors do not provide current textbooks, study apps, PowerPoint slides, practice questions and have only one person covering everything on the exam. AndyRDH strongly believes you should hear from experts in the topics being discussed as one person can not adequately review everything on the NBDHE.
Did you know?
1. It will take weeks to have all the material covered by a private tutor. The same material and more is covered in a 3 day board review AND you get access to watch it later at your own convenience.
2. You will receive a free mobile app to study and online mock boards. You will also have hundreds of questions attached in your review textbook that you receive.
3. You get so much more than a board review, you get to connect and network with other students in your same shoes.
4. Experience a glimpse of what it’s like to attend a conference with vendors. Receive free goodies and connect with them!
5. Meet AndyRDH, take photos with your friends, and have the best weekend away from hygiene school while preparing for boards.
6. Our 3 day board review is equipped with all you need to be successful on the NBDHE!
Trying to study with a used textbook or online modules are self study tools which leave you in charge of knowing what to focus on, how to study, and not hearing from NBDHE experts. Buying a used textbook also does not come with a money back guarantee or additional study tools. Our premium study packages are the best option, have a money back guarantee and a current 100% pass rate!
We want you to be successful, and we are here for you! Investing in your future and your success on the board should not be left to "chance." Purchasing a CURRENT, and UP TO DATE 2025 study package is the only way to fully prepare with the NBDHE.
Guarantee passing the NBDHE with AndyRDH!
