52. Mindset Shifts + Ergonomic Loupes w/ Crystal Kingsbury and Andau Medical
Welcome back to another episode of The Aligned Hygienist! This week, I talked with Crystal Kingsbury, a dental hygienist turned sales rep for Andau Medical, known for their innovative ergonomic loupes, while at RDH Under One Roof 2024. In this episode, Crystal shares her inspiring journey from clinical dentistry to the sales world, offering valuable insights from her recent article in RDH Magazine on building confidence and mindset shifts necessary for such transitions.
We dive into the differences between ergonomic and traditional loupes, emphasizing their critical role in pain management and prevention for dental professionals. Crystal highlights how ergonomic loupes are the only tools for proper alignment during procedures. We also discuss what sets Andau Medical apart in the market, from its top-notch products and exceptional customer service to its comprehensive warranty. Tune in to learn how ergonomic loupes can transform your practice and reduce pain while also exploring new career avenues in dentistry.
