From new sensitivity to medication changes, hygienists often recognize concerns that can shape the next clinical conversation. But recognizing them is only the first step.

Recognize → Communicate → Coordinate

A consistent hygiene-to-dentist handoff helps keep patient concerns, clinical observations, and appropriate next steps visible across the team.

For National Dental Hygiene Month, we're continuing our Prevention in Practice series with insights from Dr. Bill Paveletz on strengthening team communication and continuity of care.

“We are prevention specialists.”

That idea is at the heart of a recent RDH Magazine article from Danielle Avila, BSDH, RDH, and Laura Bettencourt, BSDH, RDH, titled, "The Most Overlooked Opportunity in Preventive Dental Care".

Sometimes, the opportunity is in what happens before a problem becomes obvious. From spotting early demineralization to asking better questions about sensitivity and helping patients make more intentional choices at home, prevention is built into the everyday moments of hygiene care.

During National Dental Hygiene Month, we’re highlighting what prevention in practice can look like, and this article is a great place to start.

If you’d like to continue learning with Danielle, she’ll be presenting a CE webinar tomorrow evening on another side of prevention: the connection between airway, inflammation, and periodontal disease
