Creating a Profitable Dental Hygiene Department
It is not possible to have long-term success in a dental practice without healthy dental hygiene development. The dental hygiene department is the pulse of a dental practice. If the hygiene department is not contributing more than 1/3 of total office production – the entire practice has a weak pulse. Simply put, hygiene drives dentistry and when a hygiene department offers only general maintenance and teeth cleaning, it can be neither productive nor profitable.
The approach to the practice of dental hygiene has changed and there has been a focal shift within both the medical and dental industry. Advances in medical research, patient longevity and the overwhelming evidence of a link between oral health and systemic health, as well as the bidirectional nature of this link, creates a compelling case for scrapping old misconceptions and building a modernized dental hygiene department designed for the business of dentistry.
Applying updated, evidence-based concepts for dental hygiene practice and further developing your dental hygiene support team is critical to practice success. With dental CEU continuing education and dental hygienist training, your dental hygiene team will be more productive, profitable, team-focused and motivated to take the lead in periodontal, preventive and overall health of your patients. With our dental hygiene laser certification California program, we can educate your team about today’s most advanced dental hygiene laser applications.
As ambassadors for your business, dental hygienists want to be successful. However, they cannot succeed without the support of their doctors, managers and support team. Taking a team approach, we’ll educate your entire team on the business of dental hygiene and get everyone on the same page. While updating your dental hygiene department, our dental hygiene consultant will establish clear goals following practice guidelines and clinical protocols for getting to know dental patients, building patient trust and taking a genuine interest in their overall health. The doctor and each member of the hygiene team will have a clear understanding of not only the patient-practice relationship, but also the oral-systemic relationship and their individual roles as related to supporting proper patient oral health.
This insightful program is designed to help your practice build a thriving, successful dental hygiene department and strong, collaborative doctor/hygiene team partnership. Our proven system, periodontal protocols, soft-tissue laser periodontal therapies, wellness approach, dental hygiene consultant and dental hygienist training empower your team to be true ambassadors for your business promoting the philosophy of oral-systemic health for patients while creating a profitable dental hygiene department!
