At Blue Light Horizon,
we believe that we are all building our paths as challenges rise and that
communication skills are headlights on that journey.
If we haven’t met, my name is Mirjana Sindolic, but everyone calls me Mia. I am a dental hygienist. This is my second career in dentistry. The first was a university career as a pediatric dentist. These two careers gave me the gift of understanding the fundamental principles of agreement and disagreement between two professions that share the same passion.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS IN VOGUE
For me, “dental” and “industry” are not words that belong together in the same sentence.
Many elements and procedures in dentistry directly depend on technological advancement. And the speed that accompanies the tech progress in patients’ treatments has a significant impact on affordability.
Once accepted as investments for health, state-of-the-art dental treatments become dependent on …
Maintenance!
You have all you need to deliver optimal services in oral health maintenance that answer every patient’s individual needs. Without your knowledge and experience, sophisticated and costly dental treatments will hardly stand the test of time.
Here are only some of the skills you improve daily and provide through comprehensive communication:
… prevention at its best, and patient inclusion in the process.
… motivational interviewing and revisiting habits, dental hygiene means, updating general health status, relying on good old follow-up, picking up the phone, and asking “How are you?”
Who will do it regularly, with all the other tasks on your plate?
With a smile, and ease, employing evidence-based methods and personalized care instruction?
Well… you.
And me.
Being a dentist and a dental hygienist, I couldn’t have a continuous argument in my mind and heart about who is doing what and belongs to what level in the dental clinic hierarchy!
WHY COMMUNICATION MATTERS?
Intuitive communication revived my career, and it might well help you reinvent yours.
It encouraged me to change from within.
By listening to what patients have to say, and don’t say… observing small signs that are not aligned with their words… communicating my knowledge based on “collected” data, I learned to draw the most from intuition. And intuition is a perfect marriage between knowledge and experience.
At first, it was energy preservation. At the end of a hectic day, I’d still feel strong enough to enjoy my evening at home.
Then came a confidence boost. The more I practiced methods of listening first, marking the key words and gestures, and asking targeted open-ended questions, the more truth and trust was established. And, it began happening very fast, within the first minutes of the appointment.
Finally, to apply intuitive communication the best, I discovered how to instantly focus on the here and now. That proved to be the biggest time saver and joy in clinical work was reinstated!
What happened next is inspired by the powerful role and potential of impact every dental hygienist has.
THE PROGRAMS FOR ALL DENTAL HYGIENISTS
When my younger colleagues started asking how am I going strong after working long days… or what made me love my job so much after all these years… and how to handle objections, lack of cooperation, non-compliance… Blue Light Horizon showed up naturally to host programs and welcome dental hygienists to discuss, improve, and make their careers thrive.
That’s why I created Dental Hygienist’s Success Formula courses to share with you and help you explore and create your own dental hygiene story.
Here is what I believe to be a safe bridge to cross the gap between school and reality.
As dental hygienists, you have a superpower beyond probes and curettes.
It’s communication that reflects knowledge and experience and boosts confidence and balance. In dental hygiene programs, communication is mentioned in patient education, treatment plan presentation, and conflict resolution.
Communication and more specifically intuitive communication is a set of skills that can be taught, learned, practiced, and polished to the delight of both patients and us, primary oral health providers – dental hygienists.
Once you try it, it’s yours forever and it’s only getting better.
The best part is that you develop your signature style in communicating intuitively with everyone, and that alone helps building healthy relationships at work and in life.
