    Bonus: The Lifeguard Approach: Transforming Dental Hygiene Standards
    2025/05/21
    Cris Duval, a seasoned dental hygienist with over 24 years of experience, has become a passionate advocate for addressing the hygienist shortage in dentistry. Duval believes this shortage, exacerbated by the pandemic, has led to widespread burnout and disillusionment among dental hygienists, prompting many to consider alternative careers. She emphasizes the necessity of regaining impact and influence with patients, advocating for a broader understanding of the hygienist's role in patient care beyond routine cleanings. Through her innovative lifeguard approach, which merges science-based protocols and technology, Duval aims to enhance patient care and wellbeing, encouraging others to adopt this method and transform their practices. Here’s what to expect this episode: The lifeguard approach focuses on guiding and guarding patient health and wellness through science-based protocols and quality questions. Hygienists can experience moral injury and burnout when unable to provide care according to their values and patients' needs. Shifting to life-saving screenings such as oral cancer, blood pressure, and pathogen screenings can significantly improve patient outcomes and redefine the purpose of a hygiene visit. There is a crisis in dentistry post-pandemic with a shortage of hygienists and understaffing in hygiene departments, potentially linked to moral injury factors. Compensating hygienists based on patient outcomes and production value can align incentives with high-quality care and improve job satisfaction. Outsourcing podcast production allows for focus on hosting and content creation, demonstrating transparency and collaboration.
