Dr. Dave Moghadam joins Kiera to discuss getting your hygiene team on the same page and at the same point of understanding. He shares his approach, and goes deeper into the following:
Gather all information and establish a flow of procedure
Hold a longer meeting for your hygiene team to review and add their own ideas
Allow a period of follow-up for questions
Transition into monthly or quarterly meetings to continually update
Dr. Moghadam utilized the Dental A-Team’s hygiene course to help him come up with this approach to calibrate his hygienist team.
