Today we Welcome Brittany Glauz @BrushWithBritt.

What happens when a dental hygiene student starts posting on social media during COVID and accidentally builds one of the most recognizable brands in the profession?

In this episode of The Unhinged Hygienists, Anastasia and Lauren sit down with the one and only Britt from Brush With Britt to discuss her journey from dental assistant to award-winning hygienist, educator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and one of the profession's most influential voices. Together, they explore what it means to advocate for patients, challenge outdated thinking, embrace innovation, and create a career that extends far beyond the operatory.

From surviving hygiene school during COVID to winning the World Hygienist Award, building a social media empire, navigating criticism, and championing prevention-focused care, Britt shares the lessons she's learned along the way and her vision for the future of dental hygiene.

This conversation is packed with laughs, inspiration, professional growth, and a healthy dose of unhinged honesty.
