HI, I’M WHITNEY CRIST…

If there's one thing I'm absolutely passionate about, it's dentistry. I've always been a little 'obsessed' with it, as my 12-year-old daughter lovingly puts it. My journey into this field began when I shadowed dental hygiene students and instantly knew it was the profession for me.

Over my 12 years practicing as a Dental Hygienist, I've become a noteworthy leader within the dental hygiene community. As a speaker, clinician, and adjunct faculty educator, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for hygiene. However, five years into my career, a setback occurred that made me question if I'd ever practice dental hygiene again. Lying in an MRI machine due to the toll of awkward postures and repetitive motions, I realized the physical strain this career had put on me.

From that moment, I made it my mission to educate myself and others on working pain-free in dentistry. I'm determined that no dental professional should leave the field due to preventable pain.

Holding certifications as a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer, Essentrics Instructor, and Certified Nutritional Coach, I strive to bring a comprehensive approach to Dentistry Rebalanced and empower dental professionals in achieving personal and professional wellness.

Balancing my passion for dentistry with being a busy mom of three is a beautiful challenge. I cherish every moment spent with my family while also dedicating myself to empowering and assisting fellow dental professionals in adopting healthier work practices through ergonomic consultations. It's incredibly fulfilling to offer guidance and support, ensuring that others in the field can enjoy a pain-free and sustainable career. Here's to a fulfilling life centered around professional passion, fostering a balance that allows us to relish both our career aspirations and the precious moments with our loved ones!
