By now, we know the impact of sleep apnea on the lives of our adult patients, but did you know sleep disorders can have a HUGE and long-lasting impact on children?
In this video, I share a great resource for learning more about sleep disorders in children and how we, as dental professionals, can easily and quickly identify some red flags that may change the course of a child’s life.

One thing I love most about attending conferences is that I always bump into dental teams that we’ve worked with.
At AADOM this summer, I got to visit with dental practice Business Manager & FAADOM, Kim Yates and she shared the huge improvement her team achieved with the guidance of an expert Inspired Hygiene coach.
Take less than a minute to listen to what her team accomplished in just a few months time.

So often when we are on-site with clients, a team member shares their frustration that a critical piece of equipment isn’t working. It’s usually an intra-oral camera, by the way.
What’s interesting is that the dentist/owner/practice manager is often not aware of the issue. Think of the care that’s NOT being presented and accepted during those days and weeks that the camera is out of commission.
This is a great, short video to share with your team and remind you to double check that everything is in good working order.

Recently at the AADOM annual session, I had the chance to catch up with IH clients Dr. Gerner & Tracy of True North Dental in NY. Dr. Gerner made a point to come up to me in the crowded hall and here’s what he shared.
The systems Inspired Hygiene brought to our hygiene team have really stayed in place. Before working with our coach, Jamie, hygiene averaged around $90/hr and they are now consistently at $130/hr. We are very happy with the results. Thank you Inspired Hygiene!
This always warms my heart. If you’d like results like this in your practice, schedule a complimentary strategy session to see how we can help.
We see it all the time. The doctor(s) have invested lots of hours and money in high level CE to take their clinical skills to the next level. These are the doctors we LOVE to work with. They value clinical excellence.
And yet, there’s often a gap in the practice. This gap is the difference in the clinical effectiveness of the dentist and that of the hygiene team.
It’s not anyone’s ‘fault’. It’s an oversight that often goes unnoticed because the practice is busy and everyone is working day to day to keep it moving forward.
We see this gap show up in many ways:
Hygiene equipment is out-dated or worn out and it’s affecting clinical results
Under-diagnosed periodontal disease
Hygienists aren’t on the same page with diagnosis & treatment planning
The team has forgotten that offering optimal care is just as important in the hygiene op as it is in the doc’s op
If you feel you’re experiencing this clinical effectiveness gap, give us a call. We’re here to listen and see how we can help.

Clinical documentation is more important than ever. With the growing awareness of the AAP’s new Perio Classification system, we’ve received a lot of questions about how to document a patient’s Periodontal Disease Stage & Grade. This short video will give you an explanation and some modifications to consider for your hygiene note template.
