More Time With Your Patients. Less Pressure to Rush.

We believe hygienists should have the time, support, and autonomy needed to provide exceptional care. That's why Newton Centre Dental offers 60-minute adult recall appointments with no accelerated hygiene model. You'll have time to perform thorough clinical care, educate patients, identify concerns, and develop the relationships that make hygiene rewarding. Our established patient population values comprehensive dentistry and long-term relationships, and our practice leans more toward fee-for-service and PPO care rather than heavy insurance participation.

• Conduct head, neck, and oral cancer screenings
• Identify periodontal and restorative needs and communicate findings with the dentist
• Build meaningful relationships with established patients
• Collaborate with doctors and team members to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care
• Maintain accurate records and uphold OSHA, HIPAA, and infection control standards

What You'll Bring

• Associate degree or higher from an accredited dental hygiene program
• Active Massachusetts Dental Hygienist license
• Current CPR certification
• Local anesthesia certification required or willingness to obtain
• 1+ year of experience preferred; motivated new graduates are encouraged to apply
