This week Payman finds himself without co-pilot Prav as he takes a therapist’s view with Vicky Wilson.   They chat about the lot of hygiene therapists andwhy they are not always pushed to their full potential within the practice. The pair also talk about how dentists and hygienists can integrate better.   Also up for discussion is Vicky’s thought on her decade in practice in Dubai, the challenges of establishing a hygienists association, and much more.   Enjoy!    “Frequently, I talk to dentists. They're so pro-therapist, they work with therapists, they absolutely love their therapist. Then, we speak about do you really get all the roles or duties that a therapist can carry out? And they say, ‘actually, if I'm really honest, maybe not.’" Vicky Wilson   In this week’s episode 00.30 - Formative years 09.59 - Hygiene and hard knocks 15.20 - Therapist and hygienist-led practice 20.41 - On opinion leadership 31.40 - A decade in Dubai 42.40 - Synergy in practice 54.32 - On Prav’s behalf   About Vicky Wilson Vicky Wilson began her journey as a dental hygiene therapist at the Eastman Dental Hospital in 2001.
