It’s easy to brush off our aches and pains and push on, never thinking that all the leaning, reaching and neck-craning will catch up to us.
The reality is, we put our patient's need over our own well-being. So, we keep using the same outdated instruments. We learn to live with the pain but go home with a case of the grumps. What office budget has an extra $3000 to invest in fancy saddle stools and loupes anyway?
We’re always reminding our clients to floss daily. But when it comes to our own preventative health as dental hygienists?
I don’t want you to be wishing years from now—a bunch of pain meds, chiropractors, massage therapists, surgeries and possibly thousands of dollars later—that you were more proactive about your ergonomic health.
As a fellow budget-savvy dental hygienist, that’s exactly why I knew I had to invent a better (more affordable) way to limit repetitive-stress injuries and protect the longevity of our careers.

by a Dental Hygienist
I’ve been doing this job for 25+ years now, so I know how hard it is to juggle an ultrasonic, saliva ejector and mirror. I’ve felt the kinks that pop up from contorting to get a clear line of vision when your patient can’t fully recline. Or been too afraid to ask my boss to invest in new equipment.
And after years of struggling with outdated instruments that left me with work-related chronic pain, I found myself asking, “Who designs these tools? Certainly nobody who cleans teeth for a living!” I always felt like I needed a third hand.
Pain was NOT in my job description. But here I was thinking I’d have to look into other fields of work if I didn’t do something. So in 2011, I put my ideas on paper, sent my drawings to engineers, and invented the answer I’d been looking for but couldn’t find on the market.
As soon as I started using the Dental Hygienist Clip Mirror, I noticed a difference. I wasn’t repositioning myself and reaching all the time, I could perform treatments faster, and best of all—I enjoyed my patients and work again because I wasn’t in discomfort! Now my mission is to get this tool into the hands of dental hygienists all over North America, so they can get the same relief while giving their patients the best care.
