We Are Beyond Oral Health

Patti believes dentistry is no longer just about fixing teeth; dentistry is oral medicine. As a navigator and long-time clinician, she guides audiences through the rough waters of coding. Her efforts have assisted thousands of professionals to code more accurately and efficiently. The American Dental Association recognized her expertise by inviting her to write a chapter in its CDT 2017 Companionbook and again for CDT 2018 Companion. Patti holds publishing and speaking licenses with ADA for Current Dental Ter­minology©2017 and a license for SNODENT©2017 diagnostic coding.

She has been a Red Cross volunteer RDH on an Army base, civil service RDH in the U.S. and South Korea, founding member of an oral-systemic study club, and Past President of the Illinois Dental Hygienists’ Association. She holds licenses in multiple states, worked in clinics on military bases as well as private fee-for-service practices from the most affluent suburbs to the PPO/DMO practice in the 2nd poorest city in the state.

Lindsey Hill, RDH, BS has a passion for dental coding and wants to share her knowledge with other clinicians who may be confused about how to incorporate codes into their dental practice. Lindsey believes there is more to dental hygiene care than what we are currently providing, and we need to bridge the gap to improve our patient’s health. Lindsey helps boost the confidence of clinicians in their diagnosis, with expanded knowledge to improve their overall health. Lindsey is co-owner of Beyond Oral Health.
