2004
Sunstar Butler GUM/RDH Healthy Gums, Healthy
Life Award of Distinction
From the Sept. 2004 RDH magazine
| Amy Nieves, RDH Apopka, Florida |
||
Of all the distinguished winners, Amy Nieves is probably the most well known. As creator and moderator of RDH@ yahoogroups.com, hundreds of dental hygiene "listers" are connected via the Web to discuss everything under the hygiene sun. |
||
Amy says, "This group contributes to the positive improvement of our profession and overall everyday treatment of our patients. Every member of the group is an outstanding hygienist who wants to improve the profession and themselves as a healthcare provider and overall person. I have learned more from the daily interaction from this group than at any CE course I have ever attended. Information on products, new techniques, research — you name it — is shared on a daily basis." |
||
She also hosts four amyrdh.com sites, including the newest one, amyrdhstudents.com and also moderates rdhstudyclub.com. Her contribution to dental hygiene as a whole through her Web sites has had an amazing effect in forming friendships from total strangers. |
||
Besides being hygiene's Internet guru, she is a full time, in-the-trenches hygienist. In her practice, she regularly sees patients who have not been in a dental office for many years. She specializes in building trust and long-term relationships to help guide patients back to health. |
||
With so much accomplished, it may come as a shock to hear Amy has been practicing only five short years. However, she held many jobs prior to her hygiene status and graduated from hygiene school at age 32. She is the mother to three teenagers and married to husband, Joe, for 18 years. |

* As a requirement for participating in the Award of
Distinction, every entrant submitted "top five tips." The tips above
were submitted by the 2004 recipients.
