Ep. 719 - Investing in Ergonomics: A Win for Hygienists, Dentists, and Patients
We’re not just talking about sitting up straight or adjusting your stool—we’re talking about the equipment you use day in and day out, and how the wrong tools, especially your ultrasonic scaler, can take a toll on your body, your comfort, and even the length of your career. Joining me is Caitlin Parsons, RDH, a dental hygienist with over 15 years of clinical experience. Caitlin will tell us why it’s so important to have that conversation with your boss about updating older, non-ergonomic equipment. From ultrasonic scalers with ergonomic handles and adjustable frequencies, to small operatory tweaks that make a huge difference. Caitlin is here to show us how smart choices in ergonomics can mean less pain, more happiness, and longer, healthier careers in dentistry.
