Bulletproof Hygiene Podcast Episode 136 HOST: Charissa Wood, RDH GUEST: Lisa Sarrett TAKEAWAYS Staying within one's comfort zone can lead to boredom, apathy, and stagnation in the dental hygiene profession. Embracing new research, technologies, and practices is necessary to provide the best care for patients.

Don't just disclose and then brush it because then. But brush first use the disclosing and see where you missed and then go back and get that back. But then in the future, you know the areas you need to work on that you're struggling with and use it as like training for yourself. -Charissa WoodHygiene is a journey with all of our patients we're not going to be able to do all the things at one appointment, like it is a process of what we're going to work through from all things. And oral hygiene instruction is the same way like it's a process where you keep adding until they just are looking really, amazing. -Charissa Wood

The basis of success of a practice is when there is a vision, mission, and core values defined, systems and processes are implemented. If that basic is not done, then the practice is in the reaction mode every day. – Ella Mullokandova
Dentistry is a team sport. It is not a one-man show. And so, when everyone is stepping into their full role and has the autonomy and the empowerment to do that, then it is this beautiful thing because everyone together collectively is achieving the goal and they’re leaving at the of the day feeling fulfilled in what they’ve done. - Charissa Wood
