During this webinar the speaker will explore how to move hygiene from reactive to proactive. As well as what impact putting it at the centre of the practice can have on dental treatment uptake, treatment outcomes and patient attitudes to investing in lifelong oral health.
Is the hygienist the cleaner or the gatekeeper? You dictate.

- Why change it? Getting things right
- A glimpse at what a hygiene-focused practice could look like – creating vision
- Utilising technology to influence attitudes and outcomes
- Short and long term impact from a shift in focus
- Managing the journey.
