The reality is that FEW who graduate is ready to set up their own immediately after graduating or EVER.

🚨 Over 2 million Pennsylvanians face limited or no access to dental care, with even those having dental homes experiencing long wait times. Dental disease, preventable and treatable, can lead to severe health issues and high medical costs if ignored. The shortage of Dental Hygienists and Expanded Function Dental Assistants is fueling this crisis. The Pennsylvania Coalition for Oral Health advocates for a 2:1 ratio of dental hygienists to dentists (currently 1:1). However, there's hope! We can turn this around by creating rewarding educational opportunities for PA students in dental hygiene and extended function dental assisting—careers that pay well without hefty student debt. 📢Sign our petition by clicking the link below to urge legislators to fund and expand dental programs at PA colleges and universities and support the broader practice scope for dental providers. Let's make a difference! 💪🏽🦷 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gbBcacm2
