Annual Hygiene Camp

This invitation-only three-day workshop is for committed hygienists from practices across the country. We have seen a rise in hygiene burnout and the loss of some of our country’s finest dental professionals. We are committed to turning that around.

Dental Hygiene is a unique profession that allows you to have more consistent contact with patients than any other health care provider thus enabling you to truly function as their health advocate. Hygienists with well-developed facilitation skills can make a significant difference in the quality of patients’ lives as well as the success of their practice. There are rich opportunities for you to expand your role, adding deep and lasting fulfillment in your work and life.

We will focus on your role as facilitator, health-advocate and agent for change. We will examine the role of facilitation in hygiene with both new and established patients. We will also explore nutritional counseling, alternative therapies, internal marketing opportunities, and the powerful impact hygienists have on practice growth. [see calendar]
