At Gerome & Patrice Family Dentistry, we have been proudly serving the Loveland community for decades, providing dedicated oral healthcare in a warm, patient-focused, and non-judgmental environment.

• Perform thorough routine cleanings, periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing), and apply preventive treatments (fluoride, sealants).
• Conduct detailed oral health assessments, including screening for oral cancer, charting conditions, and reviewing medical/dental history.
• Take high-quality dental radiographs (X-rays) using advanced technology.
• Provide tailored oral hygiene instruction and home care tips to help patients prevent dental disease.
• Partner and communicate effectively with Dr. Gerome, Dr. Patrice, and our assistant team to co-diagnose and formulate custom treatment plans.
• Maintain complete, accurate digital patient records and adhere to strict sterilization and OSHA safety guidelines.

Qualifications:

• Valid Ohio Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) license.
• Current CPR/BLS certification.
• An Ohio Dental X-ray/Radiography certification.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience).
• Paid time off (PTO) and holidays.
• Dental care benefits.
• Continuing education opportunities.
• Retirement/401(k) options (if applicable).
