MINNEAPOLIS (July 13, 2026) — Kwikly, a W-2 dental workforce platform helping dental practices, DSOs, and dental professionals build a better way to work, and Spear Education, the leading provider of advanced dental training and dental workforce enablement solutions, today announced a partnership designed to strengthen the dental hygiene workforce from both sides: better-prepared professionals for practices, and a real development path for the hygienists who power them.
The Kwikly Hygiene Membership, developed with Spear Education, gives eligible Kwikly dental hygienists access to Spear's Hygiene Excellence curriculum and certification pathway, along with nearly 100 online courses, with additional courses added on a rolling basis. Coursework spans clinical topics, patient communication, instrumentation, workflow efficiency, infection control, treatment planning, and career development, and members can complete courses at their own pace from any device.
At the center of the program is a shared belief: hygienists should work alongside dentists as co-therapists, collaborating to support comprehensive diagnosis and improve treatment acceptance. The membership is education built for the modern dental practice: practical, current, and directly relevant to the settings hygienists work in every day.
“Dental practices are not just trying to solve staffing gaps anymore. They are trying to build a workforce model that supports growth, quality, and patient care,” said Devin Amberg, chief revenue officer at Kwikly. “This partnership with Spear is a direct investment in that future. When a Kwikly professional walks into a practice, we want that office to know they are working with someone who is vetted, W-2 employed, and actively developing their skills. Temporary coverage may be where many practices first meet Kwikly, but our vision is bigger: helping dental organizations rethink how they protect production, support clinicians, and grow.”
“As a former dental hygienist, I know the weight of what hygienists carry every day,” said Betsy Kuyper, former dental hygienist and Strategic Partnership Manager at Kwikly. “You are the clinician, the educator, the patient relationship, and one of the most important drivers of prevention, trust, and practice growth. This membership is a real investment in the professionals doing that work. When hygienists have the tools to grow, patients get better care and practices perform better. That is the outcome we are after.”
“Spear's mission is to help dental professionals deliver better care by equipping them with the people, tools, and vision to succeed,” said Aimee Fletcher, director of strategic partnerships at Spear Education. “Partnering with Kwikly extends that commitment to dental hygiene professionals working across modern practice environments. These are clinicians who adapt to different systems, teams, technologies, and patient needs. We are proud to support education that helps them stay current and bring greater value to every patient and practice they serve.”
Eligible Kwikly dental hygienists can purchase the Kwikly Hygiene Membership starting at $25 per month with an annual commitment, and receive immediate access to Spear Education's library of on-demand courses and professional development resources beginning [launch/access date].
