Practice 32 Dental Hygiene Collective

We run Practice 32 as an independent dental hygiene office, and we’re passionate about a model that supports both:

• patients (comfort-first care, better education, better experiences)

• hygienists (sustainable pace, strong systems, and tools that reduce strain)

We recently asked hygienists directly what’s driving part-time work, office-hopping, and burnout. The feedback was clear: this profession needs more spaces that promote mentorship, learning, and community.

The Collective is our answer to that.

As we ramp up toward March 2026, here’s the direction:

Training / CE-Style Sessions

Short, practical sessions that focus on what actually happens in operatories, such as:

• Comfort-first hygiene for anxious and overdue patients

• Patient communication that feels educational, not salesy

• Efficient hygiene systems that still protect quality

• Tools, workflows, and clinical support that reduce wear-and-tear

• Tech-forward hygiene (including Guided Biofilm Therapy / GBT concepts and patient education)

Community + Socials

Not everything needs to be a lecture. We also want space for:

• Hygienists meeting hygienists (networking without the awkwardness)

• Social events and meetups (optional)

• A place to share what’s working, what isn’t, and what to improve
