Dental Hygienist

Job DescriptionNOW HIRINGDental Hygienist Forest, VirginiaFull-Time or Part-Time, Flexible Schedule Great Hygienists Deserve Great Practices. This Is One of Them.You already know the difference between a dental practice that treats hygienists like assembly-line workers and one that treats you like the licensed healthcare professional you are.This posting is for the second kind. A well-established dental practice in Forest, Virginia is hiring a Dental Hygienist who is passionate about patient care, respected for clinical expertise, and ready to work in an environment where quality comes first. Full-time and part-time options are available with a flexible schedule, competitive hourly pay between $45 and $50 per hour, and a benefits package that most dental offices in the Lynchburg area simply cannot match.Compensation and Benefits: The Full PictureNo vague salary ranges. No fine print. Here is exactly what this position offers:Hourly pay ranges from $45-$50 per hour based on experience, with medical coverage available, dental insurance (because a dental hygienist should absolutely have dental coverage), employer-matched 401(k) retirement savings, paid time off for both full-time and part-time employees, flexible scheduling options to fit your life, and employee discounts on dental services for you and your family.$45-$50 per hour puts this position at the top of the pay range for dental hygienists in the Lynchburg, Forest, and Bedford County area. Add in benefits, flexibility, and a practice that actually values your work, and this is a hard opportunity to beat.What You Will Do Every DayThis is a clinical dental hygienist role where you are trusted to do what you were trained to do:Perform thorough dental cleanings, prophylaxis, and scaling and root planning for patients of all agesConduct comprehensive oral examinations and patient assessmentsTake and interpret dental x-rays (digital radiographs)Administer local anesthesia and nitrous oxide as clinically indicatedEducate patients on proper oral hygiene techniques, home care, and preventive strategiesMaintain accurate, detailed patient records and clinical chartingFollow strict infection control protocols and maintain aseptic technique at all timesEnsure full compliance with HIPAA regulations and patient privacy standardsUtilize dental practice management software (Eaglesoft) for scheduling, charting, and billing workflowsMonitor patient vital signs and conduct thorough periodontal assessmentsThis is a practice where your clinical judgment matters. You are not just cleaning teeth on a timer. You are a healthcare provider delivering individualized care to every patient in your chair.The Practice: Why Hygienists Stay HereThe dental hygienist shortage is real. Practices across Virginia are struggling to hire because they offer low pay, no flexibility, and treat hygienists as replaceable. This practice takes the opposite approach:Competitive top-of-market pay at $45-$50 per hourFlexible scheduling with both full-time and part-time optionsA supportive clinical team that respects your scope of practiceModern dental technology including digital radiography and Eaglesoft practice managementBenefits that are increasingly rare for dental hygienists: health insurance, dental insurance, 401(k) match, and PTOA patient base that values their oral health and keeps appointmentsTranslation: This is a practice that understands if they want to attract and keep great hygienists, they need to offer more than a chair and a scaler. They have built an environment where you can do your best clinical work and have a life outside the operatory.Who This Practice Is Looking ForThis is not an entry-level position.
