Welcome to The Honest Hygienist, your trusted dental consulting service. We offer a non-traditional approach to finding the cracks in your practice's foundation. The Honest Hygienist starts with your Hygiene department. This is the foundation of your practice and if your foundation isn't solid, you can't build or grow.
At The Honest Hygienist, our mission is to elevate the standard of dental care by empowering hygienists and dental teams with the tools, education, and strategies needed to deliver exceptional patient experiences. We are committed to honest guidance, evidence-based consulting, and fostering strong hygiene departments as the foundation of every thriving dental practice. Our goal is to inspire confident clinicians, strengthen patient relationships, and help practices grow with integrity and purpose.
We recommend open minds, honesty, and a willingness to grow to provide the best outcome. So, open wide! It's time to dig deeper.
Hi, I’m Jacqueline — founder of The Honest Hygienist Consulting. Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, I’ve been passionate about dentistry since 2008 when I first stepped into the field as a dental assistant. I later pursued dental hygiene at college in Gainesville (Go Gators!), and quickly discovered that honesty, trust, and education are the keys to not only building strong patient relationships — but also growing a thriving practice.
I’m proudly married to my amazing husband Keith, and we share life with our two fur babies, Gunner and Millie Bobbie.
My clinical journey was unexpectedly redirected after a serious car accident and spine surgery. Although stepping away from direct patient care was emotional and challenging, I knew I still had a fire in me to make a difference. That fire led to the birth of The Honest Hygienist Consulting — a business built on helping dental hygienists and practices grow through honest communication, strategic systems, and empowered care.
Now, I am able to help teams nationwide strengthen their hygiene departments, boost production, and improve patient outcomes — all while keeping integrity at the core.
At The Honest Hygienist, remote doesn’t mean less effective — it means more accessible. We deliver the same experience whether you need help with hygiene systems, production, or patient communication. Our remote services provide clarity, accountability, and actionable strategy — all from the convenience of your screen.
There’s something powerful about being hands-on. With in-person consulting, The Honest Hygienist gets right in the heart of your practice — observing, assessing, and training alongside your team. From live hygiene audits to real-time coaching and patient flow optimization, we create immediate, personalized impact that energizes your team and elevates your systems from the inside out.
Every dental practice is different — and your hygiene systems should be, too. Our custom hygiene handbooks are designed specifically for your team, protocols, and goals. From perio charting to patient education and handoffs, we create step-by-step guides tailored to your systems and culture. The result? Aligned expectations, consistent care, and a team that feels confident every step of the way.
