Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, dental hygienist and entrepreneur Jazmine Chavez shares her insights into breaking off from the norm and opening up an independent practice. With changes to legislation and the future of our profession shifting as we speak, I wanted to bring on a guest who can shed light on the options that are out there for dental professionals. 

After working as a dental hygienist for many years, Jazmine decided to embark on a pioneer journey and open her own brick-and-mortar hygiene-only practice in a field traditionally dominated by offices with dentists. She shares with us why she chose to practice this way, how she did it step-by-step, and the pros and cons she is learning along the way. 


Jazmine is a wealth of knowledge and an open book for starting an independent practice. And if this is something you’ve considered doing yourself, you’ll be happy to know she is also a coach, helping hygienists and dental professionals who want to start their own company within dentistry.
