Job description:

Mauldin Family Dentistry is looking for a part-time or full-time Registered Dental Hygienist to work 2-4 days Monday through Thursday. We have been in practice in Mauldin for over 40 years. Our patients are loyal and deserving of great service. Unfortunately for us, one of our hygienists is moving to California. We are looking for someone kind and responsible who likes building trust and friendships with their patients to take her place. There are a lot of dental offices looking for potential hires right now, but I want to share some info about our office that sets us apart:

• We are a privately-owned office with one doctor, Dr. Daniel Halasz; a manager who cares about you personally and is willing to negotiate salary and benefits and is very understanding of family and personal time.
• We rarely have turnover. In the last 20 years, we’ve had a few short-timers, but most of our hygienists have worked more than 20 years and have retired out.
• We are an “out of network” practice, and have the freedom to practice dentistry through ethical standards and not to meet a production goal.
• We give our hygienists at least an hour to work on all adult prophies, and are understanding when more time is needed. We do not rush your time, or our patient's time, just to meet a production goal.
• Dr. Halasz is very easy-going and a pleasure to work for. He also understands the need for personal time and can be flexible when time is needed. In addition, the rest of your coworkers are dedicated to the practice’s success, and each other’s.
  

If all of this sounds good, we'd love to hear from you! Check us out at
