On today's episode, we're joined once again by Janet Hagerman, recorded during a timely conversation about the evolving hygiene landscape in group dentistry. As a fractional Chief Hygiene Officer (CHO), Janet partners with emerging DSOs to build hygiene departments that are not just profitable, but also patient-centered and scalable.

Live from Florida, Janet and Dr. Mark Costes discuss the real-world impact of the hygiene shortage, what it takes to create an effective periodontal program, and how DSOs have matured into more doctor- and patient-centric organizations. Janet also unpacks the strategies behind her books Selling Dentistry and Meetings Make Money, and explains why assisted hygiene, KPIs, and strong practice culture are essential for sustainable growth.
