Kevin Henry is a dental assistant champion, the Co-Founder of IgniteDA, and the host of the

Dental Assistant Nation Podcast. He’s been in the dentistry industry since 1999 and has seen a
shift in power dynamics as the demand for friendly, punctual, and reliable dental assistants has
skyrocketed. Kevin recommends that dentists steer clear of micromanaging and conduct biannual
“stay interviews” to ensure that dentals assistants feel appreciated, understood, and empowered.
