🔓 UNLOCK the Strategy That Puts You in Control...Before You Say Yes to Another Job You’ll Regret

If you're a hygienist looking for a job—or even just thinking about making a move—you NEED to be asking the right questions. Not just the “what’s the pay?” and “how many patients per day?” kind of questions. I’m talking about the stuff that actually determines whether your next role will support your growth, sanity, and long-term career goals. Most hygienists don’t ask these—and end up stuck in toxic culture, unclear expectations, or burnout central. Let me give you the insider intel: these 10 questions will change the way you job hunt forever (and help you land a position that’s aligned, empowering, and drama-free).

This free training is for you if...

✅ You’ve ever accepted a job only to realize the culture was completely off, and you didn’t see it coming.

Because knowing the right questions upfront can save you months of stress and second-guessing.

✅ You’re tired of being overworked, underappreciated, and stuck in roles that don’t value your skills.

Imagine knowing exactly and specifically your next steps in creating a practice that runs without you. 

✅ You want to feel confident walking into any interview and know exactly how to spot red flags (and green lights).

This isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about finding the right fit so you can thrive, not just survive.

But let’s be real 

 

Most hygienists are never taught how to interview their employer. You’re taught to show up, be grateful, and hope for the best—while the office grills you like you should be lucky to be there.
⁣
Meanwhile, you’re left wondering things like:
• Why is no one telling me how to ask about team dynamics?
• What’s the actual schedule going to look like once I’m hired?
• How do I make sure I don’t land in another chaotic, drama-filled practice?
⁣
Here’s the truth: asking smart, intentional questions doesn’t make you “difficult”—it makes you a boss. And in this training, I’ll hand you the exact questions that give you clarity, confidence, and control over where you choose to work next.

Because you deserve more than just a paycheck. You deserve to love where you work.

Hey, I’m Dr. Terri Pukanich—dentist, founder of Dental BossLady, and someone who genuinely gives a damn about creating a dental office where people actually love coming to work.


We’ve got a high-performing practice with 3 incredible docs, 5 superstar hygienists, and 9 one of a kind assistants—and we’re always on the lookout for the right kind of people to join us. The ones who care deeply about patients and about working in a place that runs smooth, feels good, and respects your time and energy.

But... I haven’t always had it figured out.

There was a time when my practice felt chaotic, I was overwhelmed 24/7, and everything fell on my shoulders. It wasn’t fun. It wasn’t sustainable. And it definitely wasn’t the kind of office I wanted to lead—or work in.

So I changed it. I learned how to lead better, build smarter systems, and create a culture where the team actually wants to show up.

Now, our days flow. Our patients are amazing. And our team? They’re the best part.

If you’re a hygienist who’s feeling over it—burned out, stuck in the wrong office, or just looking for something more aligned—I want you to know you have options. You deserve to work in a place that sees your value and treats you like a pro, not a robot.
