WE'RE HIRING

Dental Hygienist (RDH)

Part Time or Full Time | We have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays available | Dunning Family Dental & Tamara Dunlap DDS

Start Date ASAP

We have two practices sharing one address and both are looking for a Dental Hygienist for either a part-time or full-time schedule. Our two practices run individually but share a building!

Dunning Family Dental

For over 45 years, Dunning Family Dental has been a trusted name in Johnstown, NY, proudly serving families throughout Fulton and Montgomery Counties since 1979. Led by Dr. Anthony D’Addio and Dr. Steven Bauman, we’re built on honest, conservative dentistry — real relationships, clear communication, and care you can trust. We recently relocated to a beautiful new home at 310 Jansen Avenue, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s next!

Tamara Dunlap, DDS

Right next door in the very same building, Dr. Tamara Dunlap has been a familiar, trusted face in Johnstown dentistry for well over a decade. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry and a member of the ADA, New York State Dental Association, and Fourth District Dental Society, Dr. Dunlap has built her practice on the same kind of warmth and word-of-mouth trust that keeps patients coming back — and referring their whole family. Patients consistently describe her office as friendly, professional, and genuinely comfortable, praising a team that takes the time to listen, explains every step clearly, and has a knack for solving problems other offices couldn’t. It’s hands-on general dentistry — cleanings, fillings, and everything in between — delivered with a personal touch.

We’re a close-knit, experienced crew who genuinely loves what we do and we take care of our patients like family. What we’re missing is YOU — a bubbly, upbeat hygienist with a gift for connecting with people! If you love educating patients, building trust chairside, and bringing warmth and energy into every room you walk into, you’ll fit right in beautifully.

Position Summary

We’re on the hunt for a licensed, compassionate Dental Hygienist who’s ready to make every patient’s visit shine!
