At Clermont Periodontics and Implant Center, we believe that exceptional periodontal care starts with strong partnerships — especially with the dedicated dental hygienists who serve on the frontlines of oral health daily. As we celebrate Dental Hygiene Appreciation Week, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community’s and nationwide hygienists.
A Week to Say “Thank You”
Dental hygienists are more than just teeth cleaners — they are educators, advocates, and crucial team members in the fight against periodontal disease. Their preventive care, early detection efforts, and personalized patient education pave the way for healthier smiles and improved overall well-being.
We proudly support and collaborate with local hygienists by participating in the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Study Club.
Supporting Lifelong Learning with the AAP Study Club
Our AAP Study Club allows hygienists and other dental professionals to collaborate for advanced learning, networking, and collaboration. Through quarterly sessions, we cover topics such as:
- Innovations in gum disease treatment
- Maintenance of dental implants
- Best practices for managing periodontal patients
- The oral-systemic health connection
Led by Dr. Kerwin Scott, the only board-certified periodontist in Clermont, our study club creates opportunities for meaningful professional development while strengthening the relationships between general practices and specialty care.
Partnering for Better Patient Outcomes
We view every hygienist we work with as an extension of our team — a vital partner in delivering comprehensive care. Whether referring a patient for periodontal surgery, implant placement, or full mouth rehabilitation, we value the collaborative approach that ensures patients receive the highest level of care at every stage of treatment.
Join Us in Celebrating
To every hygienist who prioritizes patient care, educates with compassion, and commits to ongoing growth, we celebrate you this week and every week.
