• Communicate periodontal and restorative needs clearly and confidently
• Support case acceptance through patient education and relationship-building
• Maintain accurate and detailed clinical documentation
• Manage hygiene schedules efficiently while prioritizing patient experience
• Collaborate closely with the dentist and clinical team

Ideal Skill Set & Qualities
• Strong periodontal and preventive dentistry knowledge
• Excellent communication and patient relationship skills
• High emotional intelligence and patient awareness
• Ability to motivate patients toward better oral health
• Detail-oriented, organized, and efficient
• Positive, professional, and team-focused

• Active Florida Dental Hygienist license
• Local anesthesia certification preferred
• Experience or strong interest in periodontal therapy
