The hygienist shortage isn't actually a hygienist shortage. 

Something broke when consultants walked in with a spreadsheet and turned the most trust-rich role in your practice into a quota. 

In this episode, Dr. Dave unpacks why your hygienist isn't a producer. She runs the decision center where your entire practice either compounds or stalls. 

You'll learn why six figures a year are quietly leaking out the front door, why temping is actually an ethical exit, and what the practices growing double digits are measuring instead.

If your hygienists are walking, your patients are hesitating, or the room just feels a little transactional, this episode names what's actually happening. Hit play and stop running your decision center like a production line.
