## Resource

🎙️ Inspired Hygiene Podcast | Season 2, Ep1: The #1 Missed Opportunity in Dental Hygiene Welcome to Season 2 of the Inspired Hygiene Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel Wall—RDH and founder of Inspired Hygiene. After an incredible Season 1 focused on hot topics in hygiene, we're back with a powerful new series dedicated entirely to the #1 most common missed opportunity in dental hygiene: identifying and treating periodontal disease. With over 30 years in the dental industry and 20 years coaching thousands of hygiene teams, I’ve seen the same gap in nearly every practice—and the data proves it. In this episode, we break down: Real stats from 300+ practices representing 1.2 million patients Why many hygiene departments only diagnose perio in 5–10% of cases How to use the Perio Percentage Calculator to assess your practice’s performance What’s holding teams back—and how to overcome it The critical need for systems, leadership, and open communication How you can reduce burnout by escaping the “prophy trap” Whether you’re a practice owner, team leader, or clinician, this season is your step-by-step roadmap to boosting care, profitability, and professional satisfaction. 🎓 Perio Protocol Online Bootcamp: https://inspiredhygiene.com/perio-protocol/ 📞 Book a Discovery Call: https://inspiredhygiene.com/talk/#meet-now 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with your team or colleagues.
