Findings showed workplace racial/ethnic microaggression negatively affected the number of days per month that mental health and usual activities were impacted for this sample of dental hygienists who identified as ethnic or racial minorities. Identifying and addressing racial/ethnic microaggressions is crucial for increasing workforce diversity and enhancing awareness may promote a more inclusive and positive dental work environment.
