P3 CLINICAL METHODOLOGY™
Master the Clinical Fundamentals That Change Everything
P3 stands for the Power of Three. Everything taught here is built on three interconnected pillars—because in dental hygiene, nothing works in isolation. For clinicians, those pillars are Precision, Power, and Prevention. For practice owners, they’re Protocols, People, and Performance. Different entry points, same philosophy.
THE FOUNDATION
You’re in the Right Place if You’re a Clinician
P3 Clinical Methodology™ is the hands-on training arm of the P3 framework—built on Precision, Power, and Prevention to help hygienists deliver better outcomes for their patients, their providers, and their practices. Whether you’re a new graduate finding your footing, an experienced hygienist ready to level up, or a team implementing the P3 Hygiene Growth System™, there’s a P3 clinical training format built for you.
P
Precision
Instrumentation mastery—grasp, fulcrum, stroke, adaptation. The technical foundation that makes everything else possible.
P
Power
Ultrasonic technique, ergonomics, and clinician wellness. Sustainable clinical power that protects your career for the long term.
P
Prevention
Evidence-based protocols—caries risk, perio treatment, SDF, air polishing, and preventive strategies that improve patient outcomes and practice profitability.
TRUSTED BY INDUSTY LEADERS
“The P3 Conference is laying the groundwork for hands-on events in 2023 and beyond. The passion and commitment exhibited by every lecturer and proctor was extraordinary. Attendees were engaged and wanting more — and based on last year’s success, we can’t wait to engage with this year’s attendees.”
— Dovetta Johnson Director of Professional Relations – Hygiene, VOCO

FORMAT 01
P3 Intensive Workshop
Two days. Every major clinical skill. One transformative experience.
The P3 Intensive Workshop is the flagship P3 Clinical Methodology™ experience—an immersive, full-day or two-day hands-on workshop for hygienists who want to do more than attend a course. They want to change the way they practice.
Held in Maryland each fall with additional sessions throughout the year, the Intensive brings together a small group of hygienists for focused, expert-led, hands-on skill development across Precision, Power, and Prevention.
This is not passive learning. From the moment you arrive, you are practicing, refining, receiving feedback, and building the kind of clinical muscle memory that translates directly into your operatory on Monday morning.
- 8–16 hours of hands-on CE credit
- Over $800 in premium dental products and clinical tools
- Personalized feedback and real-time coaching from Dr. Joy, RDH
- A peer community of growth-minded hygienists
- Protocols and tools to apply in practice the very next day
What You’ll Master
Hand Instrumentation
Technique, grasp, adaptation, stroke control, and ergonomics to reduce fatigue and injury risk while improving efficiency and patient outcomes.
Ultrasonic Instrumentation
Both piezoelectric and magnetostrictive technologies, including advanced techniques not typically taught in dental hygiene programs.
Air Polishing
Proper technique, powder selection, and clinical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes.
Evidence-Based Prevention
Caries risk assessment, periodontal treatment planning, SDF, sealants, and preventive strategies that improve patient health and practice profitability.
Technology Integration
Lasers, oral cancer screening, radiology updates, and emerging clinical tools. Curriculum evolves each event.
Ergonomics & Clinician Wellness
How to protect your body and build a sustainable, long-term career. The P3 approach to clinical longevity.
THE P3 DIFFERENCE
2,000+ Hygienists Trained Since 2022
No two P3 Intensives are ever the same. Every event evolves based on participant feedback, emerging clinical evidence, and new advancements in the field. What has not changed: the intentionally small group size, the hands-on-first format, and the deeply personal experience that participants consistently describe as unlike anything else in dental hygiene education.
“No other hands-on workshop for dental hygienists matches the depth, innovation, and personal touch of P3.”
✦ NEW FOR OCTOBER 2026

FORMAT 02
P3 Interactive
All the methodology. A format that meets your team where they are.
P3 Interactive is the hybrid format of the P3 Clinical Methodology™—a half-day workshop (4–6 hours) that blends lecture, discussion, and targeted hands-on practice into one high-impact session. Built for settings where full-day immersion is not possible but surface-level PowerPoints will not cut it either.
Sessions run in two phases: a clinical foundation segment covering the evidence-based rationale behind Precision, Power, and Prevention, followed by guided hands-on practice—instrumentation refinement, ergonomic assessment, technology demonstrations, and real-time technique feedback.
Topics Covered:
- Hand instrumentation and stroke mechanics
- Ultrasonic technique: piezoelectric vs. magnetostrictive
- Air polishing: technique and evidence-based indications
- Ergonomics and clinician injury prevention
- Prevention protocols: caries management, perio assessment, patient communication
Who It’s For: Conferences and CE events, group practices and DSOs, dental hygiene programs, study clubs, and teams implementing the P3 Hygiene Growth System™ who need the clinical component to match their business systems. Every session is customized to your audience, setting, and goals.
FORMAT 03
P3 Mini-Events
Three hours. Real skills. Real change.
P3 Mini-Events bring the P3 Clinical Methodology™ directly to where dental hygienists already are—conferences, association meetings, study clubs, and team training days. In three to four hours, participants get a focused, hands-on deep-dive into one or two core clinical skills that can be applied that same week.
Sample Focus Areas:
- Hand instrumentation essentials—grasp, adaptation, stroke control
- Ultrasonic technique refresher
- The prevention toolkit—air polishing, SDF, sealants, fluoride varnish
- Ergonomics and career longevity
- Perio assessment in the real world
P3 Mini-Events are fully hosted and CE-eligible. Session length, topic, and hands-on components are confirmed during a brief pre-event consultation. Your job is to provide the room—the P3 experience handles everything else.
