💡 Profitable Hygiene with Dr. Joy Void-Holmes & Dr. Glenn Vo

In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Dr. Joy Void-Holmes, CEO & Founder of Dr. Joy, RDH, to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing dental practices today: rising hygiene wages paired with shrinking reimbursements.

Dr. Joy brings nearly 30 years of experience across clinical dentistry, education, and business strategy to explain why hygiene should no longer be viewed as a cost center, but instead as a profit and practice valuation engine.

They discuss how insurance mix, business literacy, training, and clear expectations on both sides of the chair can dramatically change hygiene performance, team retention, and long-term practice value.

If you’re a practice owner struggling with hygiene staffing, compensation, production, or burnout, this episode will shift how you think about your hygiene department.
