Wanderlust and Wellness: The Journey of The Roaming Dental Hygienist, Michelle Strange

Infection control is sometimes an afterthought in dental practices. When overlooked, it comes with hidden costs and many dangers for patients and practitioners.

Today’s episode features Michelle Strange, a trailblazing nomadic dental hygienist, educator, and advocate for advanced dental hygiene practices.

With over two decades in the field, Michelle brings her unique insights on infection prevention, arguing that effective infection control is more than a regulatory checkbox; it's a cornerstone of patient safety and an excellent way to distinguish your practice.

We also explore how embracing rigorous standards can lead to significant cost savings, improved patient trust, and ultimately, a healthier bottom line.

But that's not all! Michelle also shares about:

  • Her journey to becoming a nomadic dental hygienist
  • Guided biofilm therapy
  • The concept of motivational interviewing for patients
  • The importance of standard operating procedures.

She also showcases how dental hygienists can revolutionize and expand their role with minimally invasive techniques as a way to contribute more significantly to their practices. 

Be sure to listen till the end for an exclusive discount on her Infection Control Coordinator Guidebook.
