Yet, so often dental team members, including dental hygienists themselves fail to recognize the super powers that reside in this role. When this happens, teams, patients, the business and especially the hygienist can suffer from lack of enthusiasm, lower quality of care and lower job satisfaction. The Dental Hygienist can serve as a powerful conduit for helping patients achieve optimum oral and overall health, healthier practices, and improved job satisfaction for the dentist, team and themselves!
