It seems that there are three camps of dental hygienists. Dental hygienists who are madly in love with their job and can’t ever envision a day where they don’t do dental hygiene.  Dental hygienists who are suffering from a bad case of dental hygienist burnout. And lastly dental hygienists who are injured, which would also make sense to classify them as suffering from dental hygienist burnout as well, just with physical symptoms.

I was in the second camp.  I was an excellent dental hygienist but I suffered from dental hygienist burnout very early on in my career.

I think it was the time when I got sick and tired of being asked to work more and more miracles to earn the dentist more and more money without so much as a “thank you Carmen you’re doing a bang up job!”

Something as simple as that would have made me less frustrated.

Are you suffering from dental hygienist burnout?  It’s a real thing!  Dental hygienists suddenly find themselves dreading going to work and they start spending time on Google looking for “dental hygienist burn out”, or “alternative jobs for dental hygienists”.

I was doing the exact same thing, so I can relate.

Did you know that you have options?  If you sincerely love helping people but hate the scraping teeth part, or working for complete jackwagons….then you’re absolutely well suited for a career pivot into orofacial myofunctional therapy.

Trust me.  You want this.  

The pivot has changed my life in ways that I never thought were possible. 

• I haven’t cleaned teeth in 4 years, while earning multiple 6-figures to work from home in my yoga pants and slippers while changing lives around the globe!  It’s the BOMB!
• I get to be more involved in the lives of my 3 grandchildren, because I set my schedule.
• I get to stay home on cold, snowy days or get outside and play on warm, sunny ones.
• I’ve seen clients from multiple countries as I embrace my love of travel while working without any geographic restrictions. BOMB BOMB!!

Rather than ramble on and on about all the possibilities and how to deal with dental hygienist burnout, I’m going to make it very easy for you to make the transition. How about I teach you everything I know about ditching hygiene and starting my own multi-6-figure orofacial myofunctional therapy practice? (As a business of one I might add!)

Yes? 

Yes!

Ok, here’s the steps.

#1.  Make sure you’re enrolled in the next enrollment of the Ditch Hygiene Academy.  This is my signature program that teaches you everything that I’ve done.  If the program isn’t open, add your name to the wait list so you can get a $500 savings off the next enrollment…which happens every few months.

#2.  Make a commitment to participate in the lessons and attend any and all live training ‘ coaching events that you can!  Email me to make a pinky promise!!

#3.  Start thinking about what’s possible for you and your future!  I will train on the 4 pillars of possibilities right away, but I want you to start bolstering up your excitement and confidence.

#4.  Make sure you watch for all your emails once you get on the waitlist.  These emails will have instructions on how to access my three days of free training to get you primed for your seat inside the DHA.

#5.  Grab the book Pivot by Jenny Blake and start doing the exercises!!  We will talk about these during our Welcome Circle Introduction once you’re inside the academy!

In the meantime, if you have any questions, I encourage you to reach out to me at myotrainingacademy@gmail.com so I can answer your questions before our next enrollment begins!
