Your Hygiene Department May Be Busier Than Ever.
But Is It Producing What It Should?
If something you’ve heard or read from Mary made you look differently at your hygiene department, here’s the next question:
What do your own numbers actually say?
Production. Perio percentage. Reappointment. Case acceptance. Daily patient volume.
Most practice owners know some of them.
Very few have ever looked at them together.
Bring us a handful of numbers from your practice and Mary Hughes, RDH, will help you identify the #1 place she’d investigate first.
30 minutes. A few numbers. One priority opportunity.

This Isn’t Another Sales Call
“A hygiene department can look busy and successful on the surface and still have opportunities hiding underneath. Bring me a handful of numbers from your practice, and I’ll help you identify where I’d start looking first. “
**— Mary Hughes, RDH, Co-Founder, Dental Education Partners**
* You’ll walk away knowing the one place most worth investigating first, not a twelve-item to-do list.
* Fifteen to thirty minutes, on the phone, directly with Mary.

The Hygiene Chair Gets Less Attention Than Almost Anything Else In The Practice
Most practice consulting still centers on the doctor’s chair. Case acceptance scripts, marketing, getting the next new patient in the door. Hygiene gets whatever attention is left over, even though it’s often the most consistent, most overlooked revenue center in the building.
Dental Education Partners exists because Mary got tired of watching that happen. She built DEP around one idea: if you standardize how your hygiene team diagnoses, communicates, and tracks its own numbers, the rest of the practice gets easier too.
We don’t start with assumptions about what your hygiene department should look like.
We start by asking what your patients need and what your numbers are telling you.
WHAT WE’VE LEARNED FROM LOOKING AT A LOT OF HYGIENE DEPARTMENTS
The Leak Is Rarely Where People Expect It To Be
It's Not Usually The Hygienist
Most hygienists are working hard and diagnosing conservatively because nobody ever gave them a documented protocol to diagnose against.
It's Not Usually The Schedule
It's Usually A Gap Nobody's Watching
That’s Why We Look at the Numbers First.
You don’t need another generic opinion about hygiene. You need to understand what’s happening in yours.
You’re Not Getting A Sales Rep. You’re Getting Mary and her Team.
Mary Hughes brings more than 22 years of hygiene experience and has worked with practices ranging from solo offices to multi-location groups. She understands hygiene from both sides: what needs to happen clinically in the chair and what needs to work operationally for the practice.
When you get on the call, you’re getting the same person who built the protocol,
looking at your numbers with you.
A practicing RDH, not a sales consultant
* Built specifically around hygiene, not general practice management
* We use the exact protocol we teach when we look at your numbers
Fifteen To Thirty Minutes. Bring These Numbers.
**Bring what you’ve got:**
* Number of hygienists
* Hygiene days per week
* Average hygiene visits per day
* Hygiene production
* Perio %
* Case acceptance (if available)
* Reappointment rate (if available)
Don’t know all of them? That’s okay. Mary will look at what you bring and tell you your practice’s likely biggest leak, the one place worth investigating first. No presentation. No twelve-step action plan. Just a focused conversation about your hygiene department and what your numbers may be telling you.
