It's a bit of a friction point when an office asks the dental hygiene team to help fill the schedule by calling patients. We literally have positions in the office whose main task is answering and placing calls to patients. Additionally, there is an unbalance between the hygiene and restorative department - the restorative department is almost never asked to make calls to patients for appointments.
Be that as it may, this TIPisode gives some points to ponder about why it might be a GREAT idea for RDHs to pick up the phone and make some calls, give it a listen!

Are you ready for some honest conversations about the dentist-hygienist dynamic? Tune in to this week's episode of our podcast, where Drs. David Rice and Pam Maragliano-Muniz sit down with dental hygienists Danielle Avila and Laura Bettencourt for a candid discussion. Let's face it, frustrations can arise on both sides of the dental chair, but it's time to address them head-on. Together, we'll explore the common peeves that hygienists have about dentists, and vice versa, while offering insights on fostering a more collaborative and harmonious work environment. Whether you're a dentist or a hygienist, this episode promises to shed light on ways we can better understand and support each other in providing top-notch dental care. So grab your headphones and join us for an enlightening and entertaining conversation!
