Hygiene Is the Engine


  • Most hygiene visits = recall (every 6 months).

  • A full-time hygienist can generate $120K–$180K/year.

  • These visits feed restorative work (new caries, crowns, etc.).


Strategic Growth Tip:

  • Boost hygiene efficiency + recall = more exams → more treatment.

  • Reduce no-shows and cancellations = protect productivity.

  • Add limited elective services = increase per-patient value.
