Dental hygienists are overpaid if they do the bare minimum.

Continued learning and a growing knowledge of all causal triggers (risk factors) is crucial to changing the course of chronic inflammatory periodontal disease through targeted care.  While most CE courses continue to focus on the elimination of bacteria as the clinical goal, these narrowly focused methods and philosophies fall short in the successful prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases long term.  We can do better.
