Hi Steph! I'm listening to episode 35 as I type this text . I've been a hygienist for 10 years & I have so many thoughts & feelings about this topic, but wondering if you have any insight on this : 1. What type of salary would 3rd year dental students or foreign trained dentists get? Same question for OPA's? 2. Do foreign trained dentists or 3rd year dental students or OPA's even want to do hygiene? It's hard enough to find assistants as it is, let alone have assistants or dental students or foreign trained dentists that want to do hygiene, especially at a lower rate ?! 3. Will dental insurance companies cover a cleaning if it is not performed by a RDH? Any insight or opinions on this would be great for discussion 👍 Thank you so much! Sincerely, Kim Levy RDH
