What does it really take to attract and keep top hygiene talent in today’s dental practice?
In this episode of the Practice Pulse Podcast, Dr. Aditi Agarwal, Co-founder of Practice by Numbers, sits down with Rachel Wall, CEO of Inspired Hygiene and one of the Top 10 Content Creators Shaking Up the Dental Industry in 2026 (AGD Impact Magazine).
Together they unpack:
→ The “secret sauce” for retaining hygienists and why compensation alone isn’t enough
→ How autonomy and clinical standards can coexist
→ The 3 hygiene KPIs every practice owner should be tracking (and what they really tell you)
→ Why the perio percentage is a barometer for the entire hygiene department
→ DSO vs private practice: who should have the hard compensation conversations
→ A real coaching story about 12 hygienists, a simple tracker, and the power of awareness
→ Why losing a long-tenured team member can be the start of something better
Whether you’re a private practice dentist, office manager, or DSO leader, this is an honest conversation about culture, systems, and the people behind the practice.
