<strong><span style="color:rgba(154, 117, 181, 1);">This week&#x27;s On Track Tuesday is all about oral probiotics.</span></strong>

Whether you're just beginning to explore them or you're ready to confidently implement them into everyday practice, we've created multiple opportunities to support your learning journey.

Below, you'll find opportunities to register for Lorraine's October webinar, join us at Meet Me at the Winery™, participate in one of our complimentary Lunchtime Chats, or schedule a BioGaia Lunch & Learn for your team.

Along the way, we'll share additional resources and activities to help you layer your learning, build your confidence, and confidently integrate oral probiotics into patient care—perhaps even making oral probiotics one of your professional goals for 2026.

Oral Probiotics: Education Inspires. Implementation Transforms.

Over the past few years, one of the topics that has generated the most conversation within our rdhu community has been oral probiotics.

Not because they're the latest trend.

Rather, because more and more dental hygienists are asking thoughtful questions about where oral probiotics fit within evidence-informed patient care and how to confidently introduce them into everyday practice.

The conversation has shifted from learning about oral probiotics to successfully implementing them throughout the practice.

It's About More Than Learning

It's figuring out how to successfully introduce oral probiotics into everyday practice.

How do you talk about them?

How does your administrative team answer questions?

How does your clinical team introduce them?

How do you ensure everyone is sharing the same message?

That's where implementation becomes just as important as education.

Bring Your Team Together

If you're considering implementing oral probiotics into your practice or need a refresh, BioGaia offers Lunch & Learn opportunities.  Click here to register for a Lunch & Learn for your practice and get your team onboard.

Join Us at the Winery

If you'll be in Ontario, I'd love to invite you and your team to join us on Friday, September 18th for our boutique event:

Meet Me at the Winery™ – Oral Probiotics Edition

Click here to register.

Lorraine Gambacourt will share the latest evidence surrounding oral probiotics.

I'll focus on what happens next...

Implementation.

Together, we'll explore practical strategies to:

  • Introduce oral probiotics naturally into patient conversations.
  • Create consistency across your entire team.
  • Attract new patients through education and relationship-building.
  • Create memorable patient experiences.
  • Stay connected with patients long after they leave your practice.

You'll leave with far more than ideas.

Every participant will receive an Oral Probiotics Practice Starter Kit, along with practical implementation resources we've created at rdhu, including:

  • Team conversation scripts
  • Ready-to-use social media posts
  • Newsletter and email broadcast content
  • Patient communication resources

You'll also leave with a Practice Starter Kit from BioGaia that includes:

  • Practical implementation guidance
  • Patient samples and brochures

Our goal is simple: to help you walk into your practice on Monday morning with the confidence, tools, and resources to begin implementing what you've learned.

Thank you to BioGaia for sponsoring this event!

No problem.

Education Inspires. Implementation Transforms.

At rdhu, we've always believed that education is only the beginning.

True professional growth happens when learning is transformed into action.

That's why our oral probiotics programs go beyond the evidence. They're designed to provide the confidence, practical tools, and implementation resources that help create a transformational experience for your patients, your team, and your practice.

I hope you'll join us—whether online, over lunch with your team, or at the winery this September.

Have a great week!

Warmly,

Kathleen
