Recent data reveals why many dental hygienists are leaving the profession and it's not what you might think. A recent workforce study found that many dental professionals report experiencing burnout from workload and workplace environments, while others haven't received raises or feel their clinical autonomy isn't fully utilized.

The ADHA's updated position statement emphasizes that replacing professionals who leave because of poor conditions with less-trained workers under the same conditions isn't a solution... it's a continuation of the problem. The focus needs to shift to creating workplaces where hygienists want to stay. 💬 What workplace changes would help you thrive in your role?

Va**ng has long existed in a gray area for clinicians often promoted as a smoking cessation tool, yet lacking long-term data on its true risks. That's changing.

New research from UNSW Sydney and collaborating institutions provides the most definitive determination to date: va**ng is likely to cause lung and oral cancers.

Clinicians should conduct comprehensive oral cancer screenings that include health history review, extraoral and intraoral evaluations, and assessment of risk factors like va**ng use.

Prevention is widely accepted as the ideal goal in dentistry. Yet when we look at how dental care is organized, much of the system still revolves around treatment. Why does this tension exist? 🤔

Health-care systems tend to reward what they can easily measure. Procedures like fillings and crowns are visible, schedulable, and trackable. Prevention outcomes, like disease that doesn't progress or lesions that don't require restoration are harder to capture within the same frameworks. This doesn't reflect a lack of commitment to prevention among dental professionals. Instead, it suggests that the structures organizing dentistry may subtly shape how care unfolds in everyday practice. Understanding these systemic influences can help clinicians navigate familiar frustrations and better align practice with prevention goals.

💬 How does your practice balance prevention and treatment within the realities of scheduling, coding, and productivity expectations?
