Webster Dental Care believes that exceptional oral health starts with outstanding education and preventative care. We don't just look at teeth; we look at the whole person.

We are seeking a passionate, skilled, and collaborative Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) who views their role as more than "just cleaning teeth." If you are a natural educator, a meticulous clinician, and a supportive team player who thrives in a positive, patient-first environment, we would love to meet you!

What You'll Do (Your Impact):

• Be a Patient Educator & Coach: Empower patients by customizing home-care routines, explaining the oral-systemic connection, and providing compassionate nutritional and lifestyle counseling.
• Deliver Outstanding Preventive Care: Perform thorough screenings, periodontal charting, digital radiographs, and precise scaling and root planing using modern equipment.
• Collaborate Seamlessly: Work hand-in-hand with our dentists and clinical team to co-diagnose, build comprehensive treatment plans, and foster a warm, welcoming environment for our patients.
• Own Your Space: Maintain meticulous clinical notes, practice exceptional sterilization and infection control protocols, and keep your operatory running smoothly.

Who You Are:

• A Supportive Collaborator: You are a true team player—adaptable, solution-oriented, and always willing to support a colleague when the day gets busy.
• An Empathetic Communicator: You have a talent for putting anxious patients at ease and translating complex dental concepts into easy-to-understand, actionable advice.
• Detail-Oriented & Clinical: You hold yourself to high clinical standards and take pride in thorough, high-quality patient care.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Compensation: Excellent hourly rate of $50 plus a 5K sign-on bonus. Potential for commission bonuses.
• True Support & Balance: Ample time allocated per patient (we respect your clinical pace and do not believe in rushing quality care).
• Benefits Package: Health, Vision, Dental, 401(k) matching, paid CE courses, and paid time off.
• A Positive Culture: A low-drama, highly supportive, and modern clinical environment where your voice is heard and your expertise is respected.
