About the Role
~1 min read- 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

Requirements
~2 min read- 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.
- Active state dental hygiene license in good standing
- Current CPR/BLS certification
- Local anesthesia certification [required / preferred]
- New graduates welcome [if applicable]
- Experience presenting treatment plans and discussing patient financing is a plus
- Experience with Denticon practice management software is a plus
- A quick conversation with our Talent Team, then an office visit to meet the team
- We contact prior employers for references, and we verify licensure with the state board
- Offers are contingent on satisfactory reference, license, and background checks
- New team members complete a 90-day introductory period
