Unlocking the Power of Hygiene: Empowering Leadership, Elevating Operations and Driving Practice Success

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your hygiene department into a true engine of growth—this episode is for you.

Because the truth is, many practices underestimate the power of hygiene. But when done right, your hygiene team can elevate patient care, boost profitability, and transform your entire practice culture.

To dive into this, I’m joined by Tiffany Wuebben—an accomplished hygienist, author, and founder of The Hygienepreneur. Tiffany’s 30+ years in the field, paired with a background in luxury hospitality, gives her a unique perspective on what drives success behind the scenes.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why your hygiene department should have its own mission statement

  • How empowering your team can relieve owner stress and boost performance

  • What "assisted hygiene" really means—and why most people get it wrong

  • Creating hospitality-based care that patients rave about

  • Practical ways to build a unified, thriving practice culture

Whether you’re managing a solo hygienist or a team of 11, this conversation will give you the tools to lead with purpose and inspire excellence at every level.
