Collaborative Hygiene Care

Posted on: 06.18.21 | by Christine Shigaki

A strong and effective hygiene program is critical to our dental patient's oral and systemic health. Building it requires putting together a number of important elements and developing the team and the systems that support this essential aspect of a healthy practice. A systematic approach to diagnosis and periodontal management based on today’s science is the key to optimize patient outcomes and building an effective and productive hygiene program. Communication is the key to helping patients understand their own present condition and treatment recommendations. When we put these two elements together we are empowered to partner with patients to improve their oral health.

Learning objectives

  • Be able to create collaborative, trusting relationships within your team and with patients in just a few simple steps
  • Develop systems that support and provide optimal periodontal care
  • Begin creating a viable business model while providing exceptional and appropriate care
  • Develop a pathway to minimize stress by finding joy and meaning in your work
