President Lancette VanGuilder and Advocacy Advisory Committee Chair Alyssa Aberle sit down with Matt Crespin to break down what brought the Advocacy Advisory Committee, ADHA leadership and sponsoring organizations to Washington on April 16, with three specific asks spanning community water fluoridation, Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement for hygienists, and expanded FSA/HSA access for oral care products. They share what the reception was really like, why some offices had never met with a dental hygienist before, and what it felt like to walk through their own state's office doors and make the case for the profession. The follow-ups are already coming in. This is what showing up looks like.

It's a Retention Crisis (Ep 178)]]>Is it simply a dental hygiene "staffing shortage" or does the data reveal a more complex retention issue? Host Matt Crespin sits down with Thalía Diedrick and Amaya Johnson to unpack the findings of GoTu's recently released 2026 State of Work Report, the largest survey of the U.S. dental workforce, developed in partnership with ADHA. The numbers are striking: 60% of hygienists report burnout, 53.8% received no raise in the last two years, and 41.4% receive zero benefits — and yet nearly 78% intend to stay in the profession long term. These issues lead to a retention crisis driven by resolvable issues, not a lack of committed professionals. Thalía and Amaya break down the three to five year cliff, why physical demand tops the burnout driver list, and why better benefits ranked above better pay as hygienists' number one desired change. They also dig into the rise of flexible and temporary work as a deliberate career strategy, the case for license portability, and what expanding scope could mean for underserved communities.

So why isn't the needle moving? Matt sits down with Dr. JoAnn Gurenlian, ADHA's director of education, research and advocacy, and Dr. Ann Eshenaur Spolarich, assistant dean for research at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University, to dig into ADHA's new white paper on periodontal disease prevention. They cover the P4 care model, the evidence behind antiseptic mouth rinse, emerging diagnostic technologies, CDT coding for preventive services and what it really looks like to move from telling patients what to do to actually partnering with them in their care. This episode and its companion white paper were developed with support from LISTERINE.

Here's the Proof. (Ep 176)]]>Dental hygienists don't diagnose." It's one of the most persistent misconceptions in the profession, and it's wrong. Podcast host Matt Crespin sits down with the three co-authors of ADHA's newly released white paper "Dental Hygiene Diagnosis" (DHDx) to set the record straight. Darlene Swigart, Krista Beaty, and Toni McLeroy explain where this misconception came from, why the language we use shapes our professional identity, and how every hygienist is already making diagnostic decisions — from elevated blood pressure to food insecurity — whether they call it that or not. They walk through the Gurenlian and Swigart DHDx model, the case for standardizing terminology across education and state practice acts, and why CODA must reinstate DHDx explicitly into accreditation standards. Plus: how to start documenting dental hygiene diagnoses tomorrow morning, how AI fits into the diagnostic process, and why naming what we do is the first step to elevating the entire profession. Essential listening for every dental hygienist, in any practice setting.

As National Children's Dental Health Month comes to a close, host Matt Crespin sits down with two speakers from ADHA's first-ever Integrated Care Summit to explore how medical-dental integration is reshaping patient care. Nevada hygienist Jessica Woods shares real-world cases – from cardiologist referrals to coordinating airway care for her own daughter – that prove integration isn't just for public health settings. Pediatrician Dr. Connie Gundacker offers a medical perspective, revealing why most physicians receive little to no oral health training and how hygienists can bridge that gap. Together, they make a compelling case: dental hygienists are uniquely positioned to lead integration efforts, if the profession seizes the opportunity. Matt also covers ADHA award nominations, OPA legislative updates and upcoming events. Join these speakers and more at the Integrated Care Summit, May 15–17 in Broomfield, Colorado.

Your host Matt Crespin explores this with Cindy Gadbury-Amyot and Sylvie Martel, lead authors of the ADHA’s newly released white paper on self-regulation. With 97% of Canadian dental hygienists self-regulated, Sylvie shares lessons from a 30-year journey of patience, resilience and coalition-building. Meanwhile, Cindy sounds the alarm on threats like Missouri's Oral Preventive Assistant pilot project – and explains why similar legislation is being introduced across the U.S. This episode tackles the big questions: Who should determine scope of practice? How does regulation by dental boards limit access to care? And what will it take to move the profession forward? Whether you're new to the self-regulation conversation or have been advocating for decades, this is essential listening.

"We are waiting patiently, impatiently, to see if we can go into schools."

 

"Those that testified in favor of hygienists being able to go into dental schools include Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, a rural hospital association, tribal communities, rural medical centers, school administrators and educators and parents. 

 

"They use scare tactics telling the legislators that if they (hygienists) seal over decay we are going to have teeth blowing up all over." 

 

"The ability for a dental hygienist to provide care doesn't change based on the sign on the front of the building… when you walk through a door your knowledge doesn't go away, your ability to provide care doesn't go away." 

 

"If you are testifying make sure you bring water with you because you will have xerostomia like you have never had before." 

 

"Stop any negative self talk, treat yourself like you would treat your best friend, with compassion, grace, acceptance and love." 

 

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, it's true."

"I had the privilege and honor of serving as the first male president of our association in our nearly 100 year history." 

 

"All of my work is mobile."

 

"RDHAP allows the hygienists to have their own hygiene practice as either a stand alone practice in an area with a shortage of dentists or a mobile practice." 

 

"I haven't seen any patients since the beginning of when the pandemic hit." 

 

"There was discrimination from not only patients, but employers." 

 

"They were told by the agency, 'It isn't going to work out, they are not looking for a male hygienist.'" 

 

"You knew what they were thinking, but they didn't say it." 

 

"In the UK they didn't experience discrimination… it sounded like their laws were more strict against that than they are here in the USA." 

 

"In his environment, if you are a white female, you are in the minority, which is almost unheard of." 

 

"As time goes on, I think we will start to see that shift." 

 

"I am inspired every time I get to vote and make that choice."

Ashley is the first to admit that her upbringing was a bit out of the ordinary but she also says it is what led her to dentistry. She loves to make people smile and credits stilt walking for her work ethic, determination and ability to conquer her fears. While Matt's fear of heights would get in the way, Ashley and her brother Jordan are determined to bring this record back to the family name once again. Of course, these fellow Wisconsinites will also be talking Packers, fish frys and old fashioneds.

Matt Crespin welcomes Miki Sudo – an 11-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion who holds the world record of 51 hot dogs in 10 minutes and is preparing to graduate from the dental hygiene program at Hillsborough Community College in spring 2025. Miki shares her unexpected journey from professional competitive eater to future dental hygienist as she seeks long-term stability as a wife and mother. She opens up about entering the program with no dental experience, battling self-doubt and discovering genuine passion for the profession. From training with her husband (also a competitive eater) to being recognized by patients, Miki's story reveals determination behind balancing two demanding careers. Her advice: take things one step at a time and believe in your capabilities. Whether it's one hot dog or one chapter at a time – people are capable of amazing things.

Tabitha shares how she discovered dental hygiene while working as a dental assistant during law school, then built a dynamic career across clinical practice, academia, her own periodontal education company, and co-hosting Disrupting Dentistry Podcast. The conversation shifts as Tabitha opens up about why Domestic Violence Awareness Month carries profound meaning for her. She reveals the powerful position dental hygienists hold spending up to an hour with patients—creating opportunities to recognize warning signs and offer critical support. Tabitha shares practical secondary prevention strategies, from identifying signs and asking sensitive questions to protecting your own mental health when patients disclose trauma.

    About the Book: 

     

    Are you constantly nagging your children to brush and floss their teeth?  

    Where the Sugar Bugs Live is here to help! 

    Most parents struggle when it comes to the morning and nighttime brushing routine, and it is a constant battle. Their children don't see the importance of proper dental care and would rather find something else to do. 

    Where the Sugar Bugs Live is a book designed to give your children a visual of what happens when they don't take care of their teeth. The sugar bugs, all shapes and sizes, simply eat at their teeth. The goal is to help them realize the importance of removing these sugar bugs so they don't cause black holes (cavities). 

    They will also learn where the sugar bugs live and how to brush and floss them away! This is just the book you need to create a happier brushing routine and a long-lasting visual that will stay with them forever. 

    A portion of the proceeds will be given to families affected by childhood cancer.

    • The Book 
    • Publishing Process
    • Other Dental Kids Books

    Quotes

     

    "Getting this book into the hands of kids that don't have dental care, if they can learn about sugar bugs, if they can see and have someone read to them, they might have a healthier smile and less decay." 

     

    "You know sometimes these kids haven't even seen a toothbrush."

     

    "The most gut wrenching thing I have heard, and I have heard it more than once is When you give a kid a toothbrush and they say 'now I get to have my own toothbrush'."

     

    "I want to get sponsors to help get these books into Title 1 schools and Head Start Programs." 

     

    "I want to sell 1 million books, get 1 million books into 1 million kids hands, and donate 1 million dollars." 



    "Reach out to me because I'm here, I am totally open to any tips or suggestions to help me help the kids."
