In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, Sade Morel, another dental hygienist who made the leap from traditional practice models, outlines her path to building an independent dental hygiene practice in California. 

Driven by the desire for autonomy and frustration with outdated business models limiting hygienists, Sade knew she wanted more from her career. After overhearing about a unique program that supports hygienists working outside of traditional dental offices, she knew exactly where she was headed and now supports others doing the same. 

Sade is passionate about making changes to how we practice. Whether you want to offer mobile services or open your own brick-and-mortar business, no details are spared. Together, we unpack financial considerations, business logistics such as insurance and equipment procurement, and what it takes to build your clientele. 

Despite the challenges that come with being a business owner, Sade shares an inspiring message: straying from traditional practice models is so rewardin,g and if she can do it, so can you!
