Be inspired by hygienists and therapists I’ve trained
"I quoted you word for word to a patient who likes uisng Easypiks but still had some inflammation. So I said to him what you taught us - 'It's not about what is easiest, it's more about what is effective'. He turned to me and said 'Have you ever thought about doing a Ted Talk?' And again that very day, a patient said to me you would make a good teacher. So that's all thanks to you."

"It's about 3 months since the program and I've been deliver the personal home care plans with the Tepe brush cahrts. I'm now seeing my 3 monthly patients and the resutls are coming in fast and furious. Patients are engaging more than before. This has meant less time cleaning and more time educating. So I am really delighted."
Program Participant
Dental Therapist
"Since the program I have had some small wins - better compliance from patients and I have started standing up for myself and have stopped being scared. With perio cases I feel I am getting through to them about home care and I can see the small wins."

Dental hygienist
"All sessions have been 10/10. I love the unconventional start with a dance and some meditation. The content is very good and delivered in such an interesting way that I'm glued to the screen and didn't noticed time passing."
Jolanta Kawalec
Dental Hygienist
"I have had the pleasure of referring my patients to Dr. Dip Malde for the management of their gum disease, and I cannot express enough how impactful his care has been. Patients have reported noticeable improvements in their gum health under his guidance, which can be attributed to his thorough assessments and personalised treatment plans. The feedback from my patients has been positive, with an overall enhancement in their confidence regarding their oral health."

"I had the privilege of working alongside Dr Dip Malde. Whilst shadowing Dip I was encouraged to get my patients to use larger, better fitting interdental brushes. I can now say the results I am getting from my patients is brilliant."

You care deeply about your patients. Yet knowledge and good intentions do not always produce the outcomes you hoped for.
Despite your experience and commitment, everyday clinical practice can still leave you feeling uncertain, pressured or undervalued.
Based on my research and conversations with hygienists and therapists, these are the five challenges which keep recurring.
PATIENT ENGAGEMENT
You struggle to help patients understand and take ownership of their health.
CLINICAL OUTCOMES
You worry that you are not achieving the clinical results you hoped for.
TIME PRESSURE
You feel rushed and unable to deliver the standard of care you aspire to.
PROFESSIONAL WELLBEING
You finish the day feeling stressed, frustrated or drained.
RECOGNITION
You feel undervalued and unrecognised for the expertise you bring.
Knowing what to do is only the beginning.
Creating lasting change requires a clearer understanding of the thinking behind your decisions, the way you deliver care and the clinician you want to become.
Understand why you are doing it.
Develop greater clarity around the purpose behind your clinical decisions and recommendations.
Refine how you are delivering it.
Strengthen how you approach care, communicate with patients and apply your knowledge in practice.
Decide who you want to show up as.
Build the confidence to become the trusted, respected and effective clinician you want to be.
This is where knowledge begins to become confidence, consistency and meaningful clinical impact.
Imagine how different practice could feel three months from now.
With greater clarity, practical support and a more intentional approach to care, everyday practice can begin to feel more confident, consistent and rewarding.

Feel clear, confident and structured in your approach to periodontal care.
Patient ownership
