Hire a dental hygienist

An open hygiene chair costs a practice the day's production. Tell us what you need once: a single day, ongoing part-time coverage, a leave, or a permanent hire. A dental staffing service or recruiter that covers your area follows up with you directly.

Temp coverage

Fill-in days for sick calls, vacations and leaves, or a few set days a week while you search. Tell us the dates, your schedule and your software, and whether you need a hygienist with a local anesthesia or nitrous permit.

Permanent hire

A part-time or full-time hygienist for your practice. Tell us the days, start date and anything a candidate should know. You interview and decide; there is no obligation to hire.

What it pays

Hygienists compare offers by hourly rate. The national median is $47.16 an hour, with the middle half earning $40.18 to $52.16. Check your state and metro before you set a rate.
