This past Friday, we gathered for Meet Me at the Winery: The Dental Hygiene Breakthrough Blueprint — Growing Your Practice Through Oral Probiotics at a lovely winery in Stoney Creek, Ontario.

It was a day filled with connection, curiosity, and collaboration. Some attended as teams, others came solo — but everyone left inspired and ready to take action. My hope is that those who joined us have already scheduled a meeting with their teams to share what they learned!

Each participant left with practical tools that I created to help bridge the gap from knowledge to implementation — Patient Profile Cards, team scripts, and a 12-month marketing plan to bring Oral Probiotics into everyday practice.

One of the biggest takeaways? This is still a new concept for many of our clients. While people are familiar with gut probiotics, oral probiotics are the next evolution in whole-body health — and it’s up to us, as educators and healthcare providers, to lead that conversation.

We also discussed being the “Easy Button” for our patients — making it simple for them to access what we recommend.

That doesn’t mean giving products away; it means offering convenience, care, and value.

When you stock something like BioGaia Prodentis Oral Probiotics through Hansamed, you can save your patients about 40% compared to retail pricing.

And when you hand them their product in a little bag with their name written on it — like you were expecting them — that small touch of personalization goes a long way.

Helping your patients reach optimal oral health through adjuncts like Oral Probiotics not only supports their well-being, it also creates raving fans who return, refer, and remember how you made them feel.

Because when learning is shared, action is inspired — and that’s when transformation truly begins.

Warmly,

Kathleen
