HyLife has launched a registered dental hygienist (RDH) recruitment initiative to expand its network of independent oral care specialists.
HyLife is an RDH-owned company that provides oral care services to dependent elders. The company provides a service that most nursing home caregivers do not provide, according to company founder Angie Stone, RDH.
"Many nursing home residents have limited mobility and dementia, which prevent them from following an adequate oral hygiene protocol," Stone stated in a press release. "Plus, a hygienist's trained eye can detect changes that may require treatment from a dentist."
The company's independent oral care specialists also provide their clients with a monthly supply of xylitol-based mints and gum, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. The average cost for a HyLife client is $100 per month and is paid by the client or client's family.
To become an authorized HyLife independent oral care specialist, dental hygienists must follow a two-step qualification process. For more information, visit the company's website.
