Heart to Hands 2025 Submission for LD Coaching
At LD Coaching, we are passionate about the dental hygiene profession and the remarkable individuals who dedicate their lives to improving oral health and patient care. Every day, dental hygienists create healthier smiles and improve lives, and we deeply admire their commitment to making a difference. Our mission, to help 100,000 hygienists beat burnout and grow within their careers, is rooted in a love for the art and science of dental hygiene, paired with profound respect for the unique and diverse journeys of every hygienist.
We recognize that the path of a dental hygienist, while rewarding, is not without challenges. Over time, the spark that once ignited a hygienist’s passion can dull under the weight of routine tasks, workplace demands, and the pressures of providing top-notch care day after day. The profession is one of constant giving, and it’s easy for even the most dedicated hygienists to feel a sense of burnout or disconnection from their original purpose. That’s where LD Coaching steps in—as a guiding light and a source of inspiration, helping dental hygienists reconnect with the "why" that inspired them to enter this amazing field in the first place.
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to lead hygienists on a journey inward. We encourage them to explore their strengths, recognize their value, and embrace the traits that make them truly unique. Every hygienist brings something special to their work, whether it’s a natural ability to build trust and rapport with patients, a passion for education and prevention, or a talent for mastering the latest dental technologies. At LD Coaching, we help hygienists uncover these qualities and empower them to leverage their strengths to create success and fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives.
Our approach centers on fostering confidence, reigniting a sense of purpose, and helping hygienists see themselves not just as caregivers but as leaders, educators, and innovators in the dental community. When a hygienist feels empowered and inspired, that energy radiates into their practice. They rediscover joy in their work, form deeper connections with patients, and deliver an even higher level of care. This renewed passion doesn’t just transform their career—it positively impacts the entire team and elevates the patient experience.
At LD Coaching, we believe that when a dental hygienist thrives, the entire profession benefits. Empowered hygienists inspire their colleagues, strengthen their practices, and contribute to the evolution and advancement of dental care as a whole. By focusing on personal development as a foundation for professional success, we aim to create a ripple effect of positivity and growth throughout the dental community.
We are honored to be part of a movement that celebrates the “Heart and Hands” behind dental hygiene. Our work is inspired by the desire to uplift and support the individuals who make this profession exceptional. At LD Coaching, we are grateful for the opportunity to help so many find fulfillment, joy, and lasting success in their careers. Together, we can ensure that the passion for dental hygiene shines brightly for years to come.
With love,
Danielle Avila & Laura Bettencourt
