Sometimes we have patients that do great at home, the cleaning is easy and you don't talk much! Then.... we have the patients where we rec. switching routine up, or need to make at least one change. Maybe you have the ones that ask about every product you prefer. They come back at the next recall visit and they say "Oh! I couldn't remember what you said so I didn't." WELP, maybe we don't send home a sheet for everyone, and itm ay seem "old fashioned' but we can now email them too and some patients like it! So, do you?!

🦷💬 Hey, hygienists! 🌟 When discussing mouthwash with your patients, what advice do you give? Patients often ask if they 'should' use mouthwash and what kind. We know alcohol mouthwash is known to kill both good and bad bacteria, throwing off the oral microbiome balance. It DOES freshen breath and even mask halitosis, but it can also lead to other oral issues. By asking if they use mouthwash in part of your homecare question routine, we can potentially relate oral issues back to products and see if there is a correlation. While some patients benefit from specific types, like those for dry mouth or higher fluoride, the advice isn't one-size-fits-all.

Let's hear your insights! What do you tell your patients about mouthwash? Share your thoughts and tips below!👇

Being a parent is hard, there is a LOT to learn. How heavy does the child have to be for a car seat and is it rear facing or forward facing? When do they transition to booster seats? What is their vaccination schedule, how do they get enrolled in preschool? These and about a thousand more questions that come up every day including... When should kids first see the dentist? Katrina Sanders is here to answer that question. Be sure to check the shownotes for her episodes to see the references!

If you are a practice struggling to find help, a DSO who is looking for more talent, or a clinician looking to get a change of scenery... portability of license is essential! There have been many cooks getting in the kitchen and making a mess of the situation and the solution is just not hard to come up with. Join us this week as we Andrew and Annie discuss common sense, rational thinking ways on how to improve the portability discussion.

Oftentimes we don't have time between patients to function properly, but IF you did, are you stretching after your potty break? Maybe we add it just once, sometime during lunch. Some hygienists may do a quick door stretch between patients or right before you clean your room. What do you do to add value to your health throughout the day?

We do a lot in our day. It's easy to feel eager to leave, dread the passing between patients, and get annoyed with our co-workers, patients, or ourselves. Let this remind you to try and find the best in your day or every hour. Give a little bit more of yourself when you're feeling negative; hopefully, the brightness shines right through!

Earlier this year, the American Dental Association announced that it no longer recommends lead aprons or thyroid collars for dental imaging.

There are two main reasons for the change...
⚠️ Times have changed. X-ray beams are now more focused, so there is less concern about radiation hitting other body parts.
⚠️ The aprons and collars sometimes block dentists from getting the needed images.

Hopefully, this isn't new news, but what are your thoughts? How are you approaching this with your patients?

We have often thought about what it must be like working in a perio practice. From start to finish, patient to clinician to insurance, and more... it all must be different. What kinds of products do they recommend, and what is on their tray? Also, how does the hygienist fit within the team? This week, we caught up with Dr. Sam Low to discuss some of these topics while also chatting about the outlook for the RDH in dentistry, the RDH shortage, and more. Buckle up; it's a great episode!

Imagine a scenario where your loved one goes off to war. They disappear amidst the chaos but their whereabouts are unknown. There is no closure. This is a horrible reality for some, but for so many others there are forensic experts working diligently to identify and honor those who sacrificed for us, and their families. And while some might think dental professionals do not have a hand in this, they are sadly mistaken. Join Kimberly Erdman on today’s episode to learn about the pivotal role of the dental professional in forensics!

We know the importance of oral health and the link to the rest of the body. It's NOT a disconnect physically, but maybe for providers in two professions, it can be. Patients might agree.

Have you ever been around two fellow hygienists, and the conversations just flowed? That's what it felt like in this week's discussion with Trish and Heather. Both are experts in their field, highly capable leaders, and down-to-earth great conversationalists.
