Registered Dental Hygienist

Overview

Join Our Mission: Help 70,000+ Families.

Because every child deserves to smile - and you deserve to be valued every single day.

Why The Smile Lodge Hits Different
We're not just another dental practice. We're a mission-driven team serving 70,000+ active families in the Capital Region, with a special commitment to underserved populations. Our 4.9-star rating across 6,000+ reviews? That's because of hygienists like you who make magic happen daily.

Let's Talk Money (Transparently)

• Base Pay: $49-$53/hour based on experience

Flexibility That Actually Works For YOU!

Choose what fits your life

• 3 or 4-day schedules (full 10-hour days)
• No late evenings - home for dinner every night
• Generous PTO that you're encouraged to use
• Pick up extra shifts when YOU want (not when we demand it)

What Your Day Looks Like
You'll provide preventive care for amazing kids while being fully supported by our pod system. Each pod works as a tight team - assistants, hygienists, and doctors collaborating seamlessly. Our top-of-license model means you focus on what you do best while our stellar support team handles everything else.

The vibe? Fast-paced but not frantic. Busy but supported. Professional but fun.

What We're Looking For

• Current RDH license in New York
• Passion for pediatric care (we'll train you on our systems!)
• Team player who thrives in collaboration
• Someone who genuinely enjoys working with kids

The Stuff That Makes Work Better

• Modern facilities with all the latest tech
• Efficient systems that actually work
• A team that has your back
• Leadership that listens and implements changes
• Regular team appreciation (not just pizza - real recognition)

Here's What Our Team Says
"I like the three full days - it's the schedule I wanted, and nothing's changed since going full-time. The compensation structure finally makes sense now that they've explained it properly. Being able to pick up shifts at different locations for extra bonuses is a game-changer." - Savannah, RDH at our East Greenbush location

Ready to Join a Team That Values You?
We're expanding and looking for hygienists who want to be part of something special. No corporate nonsense, no production pressure that compromises care - just great pediatric dentistry with a team that feels like family.
