In a recent episode of The Dental Handoff podcast, host Dr. Kelly Tanner welcomed dental hygienist Lacey Walker, who joined from Germany to share her journey in dental hygiene and her holistic approach to patient care.

Lauren's journey into dentistry was influenced by her desire to find a career that balanced science, art, and the potential for business ownership. Coming from a family of healthcare professionals, including a grandfather who was an endodontist, Lauren was naturally drawn to medical professions but wanted a path that wouldn't require decades of schooling.
