Course Desc:

Are we in a recession AND a hygiene shortage!? Working in a down economy requires the hygiene professional to leverage the power of words and technology to re-engage the patient in a way that builds ultimate trust and retention.

1. Technology

  • iTero Laser - Adjunctive Occlusion & Caries Detection Device

2. Hygiene Clinical Operations

  • Schedule / Time Management to Capacity - Know Your Potential & Know Your Limits

  • The Follow Up: How to Build Up Your Schedule & Patient Base aka “Clientele”

It might feel “icky” to our tender dental ears when we hear the words “hygiene” and “profits” whispered in the same breath! However, the dental practice is a business and if we want to get ahead in this game, we have to know the rules!

True business means an equal exchange of service and value, where profits are merely the result of excellent care and patient treatment. . . we as Dental Hygienists can get behind that notion, right?!

Throughout our career, we will be faced with challenges: economic strains, inconsistencies in standard of care, lack of leadership and not knowing our numbers —- not all can be avoided, but all can be managed with the right preparation, knowledge and tools in place.

We believe Hygiene can be the POWER SOURCE of the dental practice!

In our ideal world, Hygienists and Dentists get aligned with Perio & Therapeutic Foundations, so the Doctor can focus on the type of dentistry they love to do, and the Hygiene Department can be well paid (& retained ), be well respected, and ran like a well oiled machine!

learn how to invest in an affordable, high-quality perio laser!

Most dental supply companies require the doctor to purchase the laser, making the point of entry difficult for hygienists to operate like “an intrapreneur,” or a business within a business.

We help you cut out the middle man and arrange to get a laser you can afford, and train you on:

  • state required “certification” or courses, as needed

  • implementation strategy to get your front office protocols organized

  • treatment coordination strategy, so you know how and when to offer laser — as needed

  • negotiation and contract strategy so you can set up a win-win-win model with your supervising doctor

Q: What is “win - win - win” ???

A. Patient wins by having access to better medical technology and treatments, Practice wins by having you, the hygiene operator, generate more procedures, Hygienist wins by seeing the financial fruits of their effort and investment in the form of higher pay and take home income.

Q: What is the cost and process to purchase the laser?

A: submit an inquiry below an we will send you the details
