However, Dental Practice Marketing and Management Blog had a post by Julie Frey, February 9th, 2010, that stated One family dentist in three has cut their the working hours for their dental hygienists, because the slow economy is leaving less demand for dental hygiene services. Another 11% have reduced the number of dental hygienists they employ, and 5% have cut compensation. How much hygienists are paid is an important decision for each dental office. "Upon doing a practice analysis, we found we overpaid our hygienist," said one dentist. "We paid out more in hourly wages plus benefits than we collected!"...

Through the ADA’s Give Kids a Smile program, dentists, hygienists, and dental professionals across the nation are battling this problem by providing free dental care to underprivileged children. Some big names in oral healthcare products and dental technology have joined the crusade, as well. In honor of National Children’s Dental Health Month, DentalBlogs interviewed American Dental Hygienist Association President, Diann Bomkamp. What you need to know: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s press release last month states that most caregivers do not recognize how diet, sharing utensils, and other factors can impact oral health. They don’t know that starches are as prone to promote cavities as are sugars.

The same issue has been presented in the US in the past. I believe that hygienists play an imperative role in oral health, and they do not need a dentist hanging over their shoulder to tell them how to clean teeth. However, in my understanding, the purpose of separating hygiene from the dental practice is to lower the consumer cost. Problem is, when a hygienist goes solo, overhead increases – which in turn is transferred to the patient. This negates the original intent. Furthermore, the hygienist is an essential member of the dental practice team, as are the assistants, administrative staff, and the dentist. Together, this team can comprehensively help patients and attend to all of their oral health concerns.

According to an article at OTTAWACITIZEN.com, the reason fueling the decision had to do with serving the underserved. That vision has not become reality. Over one thousand Canadian hygienists are now legally allowed to practice independently from a dentist. While insurance companies and patients look kindly on the 25 to 30% reduced fee for dental cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and patient education, patients aren’t standing in line for appointments. And hygienists aren’t knocking down the doors of senior citizens’ centers to provide low-cost care, either. In fact, the concept is having a hard time taking off. Here in the States, Colorado allowed hygienists to go solo years ago, and as i... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1460870 Thu, 22 May 2008 12:11:48 +0100 1460870
