    Step Wedges Still Matter: Why Your Dental Office Needs This Simple QA Tool

    In today’s high-tech dental world, quality assurance (QA) often brings to mind automated sensors and software calibration. But there's one old-school, low-tech tool that remains just as essential as ever: the step wedge. Health Canada’s Safety Code 30 and best practice guidelines still recommend regular use of this tool to ensure your dental radiography systems are functioning correctly (Health Canada, 2022). If your practice is overlooking step wedge testing, or not logging it properly, you may be putting diagnostic accuracy and patient safety at risk.

    What Is a Step Wedge Test?

    A step wedge is a radiographic quality control tool made of graduated thicknesses of aluminum. When exposed to X-rays, it produces a pattern of varying density levels on the image. This test helps evaluate the consistency of image quality and monitor changes in exposure, sensor calibration, or processing systems (for fil

    The Financial Impact of Operatory Closures in an IPAC Lapse: Why Compliance is Essential

    What is the Financial Worth of Each Operatory?

    Every operatory in a dental practice represents a significant source of revenue. Based on minimum daily production estimates:

    • A hygiene operatory generates at least $1,800 per day.
    • A DDS operatory generates at least $3,000 per day.

    Beyond direct production, every operatory also carries associated labour costs. In this analysis, we account for:

    • Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) @ $400 per day
    • Certified Dental Assistants (CDA) @ $200 per day
    • Administrative staff (Admin) @ $200 per day

    This basic model does not include:

    • Percentages paid to associate dentists
    • Salaries for office managers
    • Additional costs for percentages paid to specialists

    National Dental Hygienists Week: A Celebration of Our Profession

    April 4 to 10 is our week, fellow RDHs! National Dental Hygienists Week™ (NDHW™) is a time to reflect on how far we've come as a profession, celebrate our contributions to oral health, and continue advocating for a future where everyone has access to preventive care. We are the unsung heroes of dentistry, bridging the gaps in healthcare, fostering trust with our clients, and standing at the forefront of prevention.

    Our Journey: From Auxiliary to Independent Healthcare Providers

    Did you know that dental hygiene as a profession started in 1913 with Dr. Alfred Fones training Irene Newman in Connecticut? His vision was clear: rather than just treating disease, we would prevent it. That vision remains at the core of what we do today.

    For decades, RDHs were restricted to working under strict supervision, but as research reinforced the connection between oral and systemic health, our role expanded. And now? We are essential members of the healthcare team. We've earned our
