Dental Alements

Are you treating your dental hygienist as a part of the team or as a necessary evil?  With hygienists fleeing the dental field in record numbers, you can NOT afford to look the other way any longer. 

The dental industry is experiencing a crushing pressure due to the shortage of working hygienists. Before you try to blame it on the C word, take an honest look at your office manager, your consultants, and yourself. 

Cindy shares her personal story about how she, as an office manager, treated hygienists like they were an outcast of the dental team. She did not understand why they were paid more than her, or why they did not get excited when she would fill every one hour box available in their schedule. 

And then...

Cindy became a hygienist herself and was shown first-hand the other side of the story.

The side of the story where: 

• Benefits are offered as part of employment- unless your a hygienist

EXCEPT FOR THE HYGIENISTS!

This episode is sponsored by rootUon's Bridging the Gap Mentorship course for new dental professionals. Dental industry leaders join forces to help you bridge that gap from the classroom to the op! You will learn the top tips and tricks to jump start your new career in the right direction.

We talk about our dirty mouths with Brian Mauer, the founder of Bristle Health, a company that developed a DIY saliva test that analyzes all the bad bugs we have in the oral cavity,  and how to treat it!  That's right, do the spit swab at home, send it away to be analyzed, and you get the data to see what kind of microbes are hiding in your mouth!  This will help you and your dental professional come up with a treatment plan, specifically for your microbiome!

Bringing to Light a Disease Dentistry Isn't Well-Equipped to Treat.

This is the story of Solomon, a sweet and inspiring child who has Epidermylosis Bullosa, a disease that causes the skin and mucous membranes to be as fragile as butterfly wings; any mild trauma or friction results in their skin blistering. This also affects their oral health, and we as dental professionals aren't well-informed on how to provide the care they need, and in a safe environment.  

Dori shares her story not only through her eyes as a mother, but also through the eyes of her son Solomon, and her journey to find a dentist to treat her son safely. As a collective, we can start bringing awareness to this disease and how we, as health care providers, can give them the care they deserve.
