Spear Education, a provider of advanced dental education and dental workforce enablement solutions, and Kwikly, a workforce platform connecting dental professionals with practices nationwide, announced a partnership to improve continuing education and career development opportunities for dental hygienists. Eligible Kwikly hygienists receive access to Spear Education’s Hygiene Excellence curriculum and certification pathway, as well as 100 online courses through the new Kwikly Hygiene Membership. Additional courses will be added over time. At the center of the program is Spear’s belief that hygienists should work alongside dentists as co-therapists, collaborating to support comprehensive diagnosis and improve treatment acceptance.
“Dental hygienists play a vital role in delivering exceptional patient care, and they deserve access to education that supports them throughout every stage of their careers,” said Aimee Fletcher, director of strategic partnerships at Spear Education. “Through this partnership with Kwikly, we’re making it easier for hygienists to continue building their clinical skills, stay current with evolving best practices, and deliver even greater value to the patients and practices they serve.”
Kwikly Hygiene Members can access Spear Education courses at their own pace from any device. Coursework includes clinical topics, patient communication, instrumentation, workflow efficiency, infection control, and career development, with new courses added regularly.
“Dental practices are not just trying to solve staffing gaps anymore. They are trying to build a workforce model that supports growth, quality, and patient care,” said Devin Amberg, chief revenue officer at Kwikly. “This partnership with Spear is a direct investment in that future. When a Kwikly professional walks into a practice, we want that office to know they are working with someone who is actively developing their skills and prepared to contribute from day one.”
Eligible Kwikly dental hygienists can purchase the Kwikly Hygiene Membership starting at $25 a month with an annual commitment and receive immediate access to Spear Education’s library of on-demand courses and professional development resources.
