Dr. Derik, RDH

Welcome to Dr. Derik RDH where evidence speaks louder than sponsorships.

I’m a licensed dental hygienist with a doctorate in Health Sciences and additional graduate education in public health and business. I began my career as a board-certified dental laboratory technician, specializing in crown and bridge, and have since gained a wide range of experience in dental settings across the United States.
