Summary & scoring by The Bell Brief (Dr. Jennifer Bell) using the Drill-Down Protocol (Drill-Down Score) — not the original publisher.
Why it matters for dental
Dental practice owners and hiring managers face a growing risk of staff turnover as hygienists, assistants, and dentists increasingly mix permanent roles with temp/gig work to boost income, while burnout rates climb.
Key points
- GoTu survey data show income satisfaction rises with flexible schedules that combine permanent, temporary, and gig work.
- The same flexible schedules correlate with higher burnout among hygienists, assistants, and dentists.
- Survey captures how these workforce patterns affect dental staffing models and retention.
- Findings are most relevant to practice owners, DSOs, and staff looking to balance compensation and workload.
