It's time to be recognised as a vital team member in your dental practice. You will transform from a hygienist/therapist to a holistic healthcare professional. We believe hygienists play an integral role on the delivery of healthcare and should be viewed as clinicians, the same as dentists, and not as auxiliaries.

You will become a hygienist/therapist with a more rounded and grounded approach to treatment cases, which will not only help your patients and patient journey but impress your dental colleagues just as much.

Our in-depth theory together with teaching you perfect technique will make you a great hygienist that stands out at your practice. Once you transform into a master hygienist you will be able to charge a premium for your expertise.

Course Overview (6 P's)

 

The online course contains exclusive practical content with Dr Reena in surgery. Watch Dr Reena teach you multiple techniques and best practices, including probing, scaling, ultrasonics, airflow and many more. Video lessons available on the go, anytime you need them. Whether that's in surgery just before your next patient, watching them the night before a difficult patient or brushing up on your communication skills on a day off.
