This course will explore the rapidly changing future of dental hygiene in the DSO space and beyond. To truly reach the patients that so desperately need care we must educate and build a national team of hygienists using the work force that is currently in place. In addition, we must reinvent the role of the dental hygienist based on the medical/dental model so that care can be delivered in settings beyond the current focus.
Course objectives:
Define the role of the five pillars in educating and building the current dental hygienist team.
List three challenges to the role of the dental hygienist as it expands into a medical/dental model.
