The Origin of Dental Fear with Kandice Swarthout, The Counselor Hygienist

Today I sit down with Kandice Swarthout, RDH, LPC, who is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Dental Hygienist. As the owner of Inspired Education & Wellness, she combines her passion for clinical dental and mental health to help other healthcare professionals have a fulfilling work-life experience. In this riveting conversation she shares her story of escaping an abusive relationship, how she turned her pain into power, and why her path of resilience led her to educate professionals to identify trauma: abused and human-trafficked victims in the healthcare setting! Kandice has been featured in Dentistry IQ, Today’s RDH, and her blog on Facebook titled Fearless Compassion: Personal Stories of Triumph. Inspired Education & Wellness is an approved course provider for human trafficking training for healthcare professionals through Texas Health and Human Services Committee on human-trafficking.
