What if dental hygienists in every state could open their own practices, set their own hours, and bill patients directly - without a dentist signing off on every decision?
That’s not a fantasy. It’s Canada. And they’ve been doing it for decades.
In this episode of Rooting Within Health, Kimberly Williamson dives into how Canadian hygienists achieved self-regulation - and why the American system is designed to keep clinicians limited. She covers:
• The 30+ year timeline of Canadian self-regulation
• How the ADA removed “dental hygiene diagnosis” from our standards — with no evidence
• The GDC research showing direct access is safe
• Why dental boards dominated by dentists create a conflict of interest
• The real reason behind the hygienist shortage — and why OPAs aren’t the answer
• What we can actually do to demand change
This episode is for every dental professional who’s ever felt silenced, overlooked, or stuck in a system that wasn’t built for them.
