Expanded Services and Scope

The hygienist's role keeps expanding, and this topic is about growing what you can offer while staying within your state's scope of practice. It starts with how the profession has changed and what expanded services add for patients and practices. From there, webinars connect medical conditions and metabolic health to what you see in the mouth, a masterclass covers near-infrared imaging, AI diagnostics and photography, and other courses address post-operative protocols and getting started with an intraoral scanner. Check your state's rules before adding any new service to your work in the chair.
