The Perio Hygienist Podcast


“This is the Perio Hygienist Podcast – a podcast centered on the intersection between the specialty of Periodontics and the profession of Dental Hygiene…”

The purpose of this podcast, written and produced by a periodontist with unique subject matter expertise, is to simplify care and enable the smooth and comfortable transfer of patients between the providers. Because everyone finally knows and understands the problems and challenges from the perspective of the others involved, the quality of patient care can improve profoundly. This can result in more case sharing, more patient satisfaction and less operator frustration.

If you want to stay sane in dentistry write the following down and review it often:

I have two jobs and the patient has two jobs. None of these jobs can be shared by the other.
My two jobs are (1) to like patients and (2) to treat them well.
Patients will benefit from doing their two jobs which are (1) daily homecare and (2) appointment management. Should they decide to take care of themselves, I will take no credit. It was their choice to comply with the recommendations, not mine.
