🎙️ Inspired Hygiene Podcast | From Paycheck to Partnership: Evolving the Hygiene Compensation Model

Welcome back to the Inspired Hygiene Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel Wall—RDH and founder of Inspired Hygiene. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by long-time friend and lead coach Emme Sanders to dive deep into one of the hottest and most impactful topics in dentistry today: the shift from hourly paycheck to performance-based partnership in dental hygiene.

đź’ˇ We explore:

  • Why traditional hygiene pay models are no longer sustainable
  • What a performance-based model really looks like
  • How to create a triple win for the patient, provider, and practice
  • Real-world success from a legacy practice that made the transition
  • Common pitfalls—and how to avoid them
  • The critical role of clear communication in successful change
  • Why this model enhances value, patient care, and professional longevity
  • PLUS: Emme shares behind-the-scenes insights from one of her most challenging (and rewarding) consulting projects yet—and how they helped hygienists make more while serving patients better.
