Dental Health - It's All in the Packaging! In dentistry, we are in the business of health and it's time for our practices to package, promote, and sell our products. Most dental hygienists are proficient at scaling, root planing, probing and flossing but often don't realize that they are also packaging a product to sell. As a profession, collectively, hygienists believe it is their calling to remove by all methods possible, the microscopic granular guck; ridding the mouth of toxic bacteria, harmful plaque, calculus and exudate, tooth by tooth, until their patients' mouths are as clean as humanly possible in order to fight the ominous battle of periodontal disease. Most hygienists believe they make a difference in their clients overall health and studies fully support the whole healthy mouth, healthy body truth. However, and what many hygienists do not understand, is that it is up to us to sell the product of health to our clients. How do we package health (both dental and overall health)? We package health by making it important and clearly communicating that to our clients. We package health by not rewarding the periodontal diseased delinquents by rushing them through therapy. We also package health with value added service such as lip balm and warm towels during treatment or blood pressure readings to name a few. Then we sell our best possible treatment plans for the client's total body health. We slow down, take the time to package our service and then simply sell good health.
