Overview:We are seeking a skilled , passionate, and extroverted Dental Hygienist of 5+ years to join our team for a long term career.
We are a fee for service dental practice that focuses on relationship building, and providing exceptional experiences to our patients. Our patients are truly treated like friends and family. Our goal is not to just provide cleanings, but to socialize and create a practice that patients WANT to come to and want their friends and family to come to because they trust us to provide the best.
Our practice has been in the area for over 30 years, and has a heavy LGBTQIA population. Any and everyone is welcome, and everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Furthermore, the doctor enjoys doing hygiene too, and considers hygiene the most important aspect of patient management because ultimately that is how we keep our patients healthy for life.

Pay can be extremely competitive for the perfect candidate. I am looking for someone is friendly, who likes to talk to patients, who is passionate about educating patients on hygiene and utilizes all resources available (threadrers, proxabrush, SDF,) and obviously who has the appropriate clinical skills that can be delivered with a gentle touch. I take extensive notes on my patients, and track their health thoroughly, and expect the hygienist to play the same role. If you are knowledgeable in dental sleep medicine, and myofunctional therapy that is a huge plus. I am looking for a hygienist that knows how to recognize decay and communicate this to the doctor, knows the benefits of orthodontics in terms of hygiene, and is comfortable having those discussions prior to me entering the exam room. My hygienists are health care providers, not teeth scrapers.
