Almost all of dentistry is bought and sold during the hygiene visit. Yet too many of us get caught up in the typical outdated recall mindset. There are now important reasons to help patients do more than just keep their teeth. The new goal of dentistry gives doctor and hygienist new opportunities to identify dental needs in patients and then motivate them to follow through. Doctor and hygienist will leave this course with a step-by-step exam protocol which makes it as easy as possible for both to reach their practice goals.
