You'll work from a single-column hygiene schedule with 45-minute appointments, while maintaining the flexibility to extend appointment times whenever clinically appropriate. A dedicated roving clinical assistant provides support with radiographs, room turnover, and scheduling, allowing you to focus on patient care. Whether you're an experienced hygienist or a recent graduate, you'll receive the mentorship and support needed to succeed. New graduates receive structured onboarding and double-hygiene training until they're comfortable practicing independently. We are seeking team-oriented clinicians who are flexible, motivated, and passionate about building lasting patient relationships while delivering comprehensive preventive care.
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver comprehensive preventive and periodontal hygiene care
- Perform dental prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing, and preventive procedures
- Conduct comprehensive periodontal evaluations and oral cancer screenings
- Take diagnostic radiographs, including panoramic, bitewing, and periapical images as clinically indicated
- Educate patients on oral hygiene, periodontal health, and preventive treatment recommendations
- Maintain accurate clinical documentation
- Collaborate closely with doctors and the clinical team to provide exceptional patient care
- Maintain OSHA and infection control standards
- Contribute to a positive, team-oriented clinical environment focused on outstanding patient experiences

- Active Registered Dental Hygienist license in the state of Pennsylvania
- Current CPR/BLS certification

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
