The most expensive assumption in dentistry is this, if I hired great clinicians they must be doing it right.

In this episode Rachel Wall sits down with Dr. Andrew Matta, co-founder of North American Dental Group (NADG) and founder of The Matta Group. Dr. Matta brings a perspective to this conversation that is incredibly valuable.

He led clinical culture across hundreds of dental locations and he knows what it costs a practice when calibration does not exist. Licensed providers do not automatically practice in alignment with your clinical philosophy. That alignment has to be built. Owned. And lived every single day.

Nobody knows your standards unless you live them.

Quiet quitting has made its way into dental hygiene and it does not look the way you think it does.

It is not a hygienist who stops showing up. It is the one who keeps showing up but has quietly stopped bringing her best. The one who used to bring ideas to the table and now just does her job. The team that used to have energy in the morning huddle and now moves through it like a formality. The hygienist who cares deeply about their patients but has quietly stopped going the extra mile because they’re running on empty.

This is not a character issue. It is not a motivation issue. It is what happens when talented hardworking people are not being poured into. When the work becomes repetitive. When there is no clear standard to aspire to. When nobody is investing in their growth or acknowledging what they are contributing.

This is one of the most common things our coaches walk into and it is also one of the most transformable.

When a hygiene team has the right systems, a clear standard of care, a doctor who is genuinely invested in their growth and a coach who helps them see what they are capable of everything shifts. The energy comes back. The initiative comes back. The sense of purpose that brought them into this profession in the first place comes back.

That is part of the work we do at Inspired Hygiene and Q4 is not too late to start.

We believe the best coaching comes from leaders who are still actively investing in their own growth. Last week our founder Rachel Wall did exactly that.

Rachel spent time at the Dental Leadership Summit in Austin alongside some of the most forward thinking dental leaders in the country. The conversations in that room about practice growth, leadership and the future of dentistry are exactly the kind of thinking that shapes what we bring back to the practices we serve.

She had the opportunity to connect with some truly remarkable people in a space that made every conversation feel meaningful and intentional. A special congratulations to Amber Young | Saving Face on receiving the humanitarian award, so well deserved and such a beautiful moment to witness.

We are always learning so we can always give our clients more.

Thank you to Jill Hasselmann, Ralf Tomandl, and the HR for Health team for making this such a memorable and meaningful experience.

Change does not stick when it is dropped on a team without warning and that is exactly why we do things differently.

At Inspired Hygiene the work of shifting a team's mindset and workflow begins long before a coach ever walks through the door.

We ease teams into the process in a way that builds curiosity, confidence and genuine buy in from day one.

In this episode of Season 5 Rachel Wall sits down with Driany Cruz, our Client Care Coordinator, to talk openly about how that process works and why it makes such a difference in the results our clients see.

What does a 4X return on a coaching investment actually look like?

Perio percentage went from 4% to 14%. Monthly hygiene production jumped from $67,210 to $80,881. That is an extra $13,671 every single month from the same hygiene team that was already showing up every day.

This is what happens when a practice makes the decision to invest in themselves. When the standards get clearer. When the clinical conversations get better. When the whole team levels up together.

The numbers increase.

We feature results like this in our newsletter every other week alongside practical honest insight that dental teams can actually use. No fluff. No generic advice. Just real information from people who are inside dental practices every single day.

If you are not on our list yet this is a great reason to get on it.

One of the most important things a dental leader can do has nothing to do with business strategy or business strategy.

It is creating an environment where your team feels safe enough to tell you the truth.

If the people on your team cannot bring you a hard conversation, you will never actually know what is happening in your practice. You will only ever see the version of things people think you want to see and that is a dangerous place to lead from.

Psychological safety is not a soft concept. It is a leadership requirement and building it takes intentional, consistent effort.

The hardest part of leadership is not making the decisions. It is being willing to hear things that challenge how you see yourself and your practice and staying open enough to let them land.

The practices that grow are almost always the ones where the leader has done this work. Where the team trusts that honesty is welcomed. Where hard conversations are not avoided but invited.

That is the kind of culture we help practices build.

Season 5, Episode 8 of the Inspired Hygiene podcast is out now, and it addresses something every doctor and hygienist should hear.

Janet Hagerman is a firm believer in monthly doctor-hygiene meetings. She sees them as the foundation of an aligned, empowered partnership between doctor and team. Without that regular calibration, even good teams can drift apart, misread each other, and end up working against each other instead of with each other.

In the full episode, Janet and Rachel go deeper on:
�→ The open ended questions that reveal whether someone is coachable�→ The difference between team members who are compliant and those who are ready to lead�→ Why calibration through regular meetings is one of the most effective tools you have as a leader

If you've ever wondered how to spot your next hygiene leader before they even walk in the door, or how to start building real empowerment on your team, this episode gives you a real, usable framework.

This practice in Massachusetts has been working with Inspired Hygiene coach Emme Sanders and the results speak for themselves in more ways than one.

Dr. Leland and dental hygienist Chris, shared that not only have the numbers improved but there has been a noticeable shift in how the team shows up, thinks and approaches challenges together. Under Emme’s coaching the team has developed the kind of confidence and capability that allows them to navigate those challenges independently and with clarity.

That is exactly what great coaching does. It does not just deliver results. It builds the kind of team culture and clinical confidence that keeps growing the longer you invest in it.

This is what investing in your hygiene team actually looks like. Not just better numbers. A better team. A better culture. A practice that feels different from the inside out.

If you are curious about what this could look like for your practice we would love to have a conversation.

Tomorrow is the day. The Inspired Hygiene Virtual Growth Forum is back and we are not easing back in gently. We are coming back with one of the most talked about and least understood topics in dental hygiene right now.

The OPA designation is changing the landscape of our profession. Some states have already adopted it. More are watching. And practices everywhere are trying to figure out what it means for them before it shows up at their door.

We are not going to let you walk into that conversation unprepared.

Tomorrow night at 7pm EST join Rachel Wall, and Inspired Hygiene coaches Kathryn Kamish Gilliam, Connie Simmons and Emme Sanders for a live conversation built around the questions you are actually asking.

What does the OPA mean for patient care and liability? Which states could be next? What do you need to know before considering it for your practice? What should you be doing right now?

This is a free live event and for those who register a replay will be available so you can revisit the conversation at any time.
