Even Hygienists Have Yellow Zones
Even a dental hygienist with years of chairside experience can miss a spot, and the newest Philips Sonicare proves it. Live from the ADHA26 exhibit floor in Fort Worth, host Matt Crespin welcomes first-time guest Heather McGuire of Philips Oral Healthcare, who traces her path from dental assistant to clinician to building hygiene departments for two DSOs. Heather previews the next-generation DiamondClean and DiamondClean Prestige, launching Oct. 1, with a touchscreen mouth map on the handle that shifts each segment from yellow to blue and remembers where you left off. Instant feedback on pressure and scrubbing brings chairside coaching into the patient's bathroom. She also explains how Zoom Delivered converts an intraoral scan into custom whitening trays shipped straight to the patient's door. Turns out even hygienists have yellow zones.
