This isn't your typical job posting for a Dental Hygienist!

We are looking to add a top-notch Dental Co-therapist who is eager to go beyond insurance-driven hygiene to promote and develop optimal oral health programs for your patients. We know that gum disease is no longer simply a matter of retaining teeth, but related to abnormal function of at least 57 systemic processes within the human body! Gum disease is now about prolonging and improving the quality of life!

We need someone who is eager to evolve with our progressive office, and willing to learn new and improved ways of doing Dentistry!

We thrive on working as a team, caring for our easy-going, multi-generational patients, in a family-type atmosphere. And we have fun doing it! We are a close-knit group who enjoys working together, learning together in continuing education, and even playing together outside of the office. We are committed to continual improvement!

If you have been shaking your head yes while reading this, great bedside manner and an excitement to improve your profession, we'd love to meet you!
