Learn about dental and gourmet specialties with On The Job
| Student Elaina Thrasher, left, instructs On The Job host Bobby Jon Drinkard how to provide cleaning for a Wallace State Community College-Hanceville dental patient.
This week On The Job explores exciting careers in the field of dental
hygiene at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville. As a practicing member of the dental health team, a dental hygienist acts as an educator and motivator in maintenance
of oral health and prevention of dental disease.
Hygienists are in demand in general dental
practices, as well as in specialty practices such as periodontics or
pediatric dentistry. Hygienists may also be employed to provide dental
hygiene services for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and public
health clinics.
On The Job team members also spent the day with the natural gourmet specialty food producer, Kyleigh Farms in Chancellor. The company owner says Kyleigh Farms "can take a customer from an idea for a recipe to a product on the shelf." While at Kyleigh Farms, On The Job also spent time with a unique organic African pepper company, Kalahari Pepper Company from Vestavia Hills.
Tune in Sunday at 2 p.m. on your local APT channel to learn more about careers in dental hygiene and gourmet specialization.
