An Intractable Problem: Creative Solutions Are Needed To Solve The Dental Hygienist Shortage In New York State, Stuart L. Segelnick Dds, Ms

The New York State Dental Journal

The dental workforce shortage is well documented. Whether it is dental assistants or dental hygienists, it hasn’t been easy finding good help. The ADA and California Dental Association recommend offering higher salaries, flexible and lighter schedules, health insurance, paid holidays and vacations, retirement funds, paying for continuing education, better dental office culture and growth opportunities. Providing these benefits and adjusting your dental practice may very well lead to success in hiring, but could be detrimental to your business. Maybe it’s time we look far outside the box for solutions.
