Patient Lifestyle Habits that Sabotage Your Hygiene Appointment

Our patients don’t leave their stressful jobs, poor sleeping patterns (insomnia, apnea, snoring), their physical fitness (or lack) or their eating patterns (mindless eating & evening feeding frenzies) in the car before they sit in our chair. There’s irrefutable scientific evidence that these habits have the ability to ramp up inflammation or dial it down. Well adjusted, rested, physically active, healthy eating patients enjoy a physiology that supports a better response to our prevention/restorative interventions. In this high energy entertaining program, be prepared to have your hair blown back!
Objectives:
Discover how eating habits can dial down or ramp inflammation and how it affects your treatment outcomes
Learn why it’s important to identify the sleep deprived patient (not just apnea) right away at the New Patient exam

Gain greater insight into the relationship between chronic inflammation & disease and become a leader in your

Are You Treating Your Hygienists as an Outkast?

Are you treating your dental hygienist as a part of the team or as a necessary evil?  With hygienists fleeing the dental field in record numbers, you can NOT afford to look the other way any longer. 
The dental industry is experiencing a crushing pressure due to the shortage of working hygienists. Before you try to blame it on the C word, take an honest look at your office manager, your consultants, and yourself. 
Cindy shares her personal story about how she, as an office manager, treated hygienists like they were an outcast of the dental team. She did not understand why they were paid more than her, or why they did not get excited when she would fill every one hour box available in their schedule. 
And then...
Cindy became a hygienist herself and was shown first-hand the other side of the story.
The side of the story where: 
Benefits are offered as part of employment- unless your a hygienist
Only the hygienist is expected to clock out during non-patient time
Any two members of the team can visit as long as one isn't a hygienist 
CE is paid for the entire team- except for the hygienists
Hygienists are only allowed vacation time when the office is shut down
Consultants play hygienists against each other as a way to increase $$
A hygienist is expected to out perform two assistants and one dentist
Their day is ruled by a 60 minute box 
They are expected to work through debilitating pain
The doctor bought coffee for everyone on the team- 
EXCEPT FOR THE HYGIENISTS!
