Registered Dental Hygienist

About the role

We are looking for a hygienist who takes pride in clinical excellence, connects with patients, and is someone the team can count on every day. You will have a full schedule, a supportive doctor team, and the tools and time to deliver great care.

What you will do

• Provide prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, and scaling and root planing

• Complete full periodontal charting and assess periodontal health at every appropriate visit

• Take and review radiographs and intraoral images

• Educate patients on their oral health and explain the “why” behind recommended care

• Co-diagnose with the dentist and build treatment plans for periodontal and restorative care

• Present treatment plans chairside, explaining what the patient needs and why, in plain language

• Discuss fees, insurance estimates, and payment or financing options with patients, helping them say yes to care while the clinical conversation is still fresh

• Administer local anesthesia [where certified and permitted by state]

• Apply fluoride, sealants, and adjunctive therapies

• Make sure each patient leaves with their next recare visit scheduled

• Document accurately and completely in the patient record

• Maintain your operatory and follow OSHA and infection control standards What we need from you

• Reliability. Regular, predictable, on-time attendance is an essential function of this job. When a hygienist is out, a full day of patients loses their care.

• Presence. You are engaged and focused on the patient in your chair.

• A good attitude. You stay positive and professional on busy days and take feedback well.

• Team first. You communicate openly with doctors, assistants, and the front desk, and you help the whole office succeed.

• Clinical ownership. You diagnose and treat periodontal disease by the standard of care, not by what is easiest.

• Patient connection. You build trust, explain clearly, and are comfortable recommending treatment. Patients accept care when it comes from the clinician they trust.

• Comfort with money conversations. You can talk about cost and financing clearly and confidently, without pressure and without handing it off.

• Professional presentation. We hold a high standard for personal hygiene, grooming, and clean scrubs every shift.
