And Shirley Gutkowski, RDH, BSDH, is taking her love of dentistry to the airwaves with a unique Internet radio program that airs five days a week. The 30-minute segments cover everything from the business of dental hygiene and biofilm management to the importance of wellness and healthcare issues such as autism, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. The online format makes it easy to catch her show no matter where you are and share it with others.
