Philosophy: We are a full-service dental practice standing for the Complete Health of our patients through the most thorough care available and with a team that seeks to empower our patients and their families, coworkers and friends.  We need a Rockstar RDH or how we like to call a Hygenius who is confident and committed to educating their patients and connecting with them, so the best healthcare can be delivered.

Responsibilities

" Perform periodontal treatment on all patients as needed based on "Standards of Care" guidelines.
" Discuss any unscheduled treatment with patients using visual tools and verbal skills to educate and motivate them.
" Help uncover patients' "Personal Motivators" during the visit and record them in their charts. Summarize your findings to the patients and educate them about the potential consequences if their condition is left untreated. Educate the patients regarding the next steps that the Doctor will likely recommend. Uncover any issues or concerns that the patient may have and alert the appropriate person (i.e., Treatment Coordinator).
" Advise the Doctor when a patient is ready for exam. Inform the Doctor of the patient's periodontal score, what was completed during the visit, any unfinished treatments, recall intervals and any medical/personal concerns the patient may have. Include their "Personal Motivators" as appropriate.
" Schedule patients for a future continuing care appointment, emphasizing the need for continuous car and the recommended next appointment interval.
