The practice of hygiene is almost an entire business within the
larger clinic setting of oral healthcare delivery. In some states the practice
of hygiene may actually be an independent business. For these reasons, the “Toolkit”
contains a separate section to address the area of practice management for dental
hygiene. The hygienist has a unique set of items to consider and address when
selecting the style of practice that is best for each individual personality.
The duties of the dental hygienist are the heart of the oral healthcare delivery
system and must be managed carefully in order to adequately address each patients
needs and deliver an effective ongoing preventive care program.
The “Toolkit” contains various items to help the hygienist accomplish
these goals, to be satisfied in his/her role in the dental environment, and
to continue to be the preventative specialist in the dental practice.
