Grow with a team that values you, rewards your success, invests in your growth, and makes a lasting impact in our community. About Us Laing Family Dentistry has proudly served the Van Wert community for four generations since 1932. Our practice is built around treating patients like family and practicing the Golden Rule in everything we do. While our history goes back more than 90 years, our approach to dentistry is anything but old-fashioned. We continually invest in modern technology, advanced procedures, continuing education, and new ways to make dentistry more comfortable and convenient for our patients. Over the past five years, our team has experienced practically zero turnover while continuing to grow to meet patient demand. Our team is warm, collaborative, hardworking, and passionate about caring for our community. We're growing and we're looking for another Registered Dental Hygienist to join our team. Our Hiring Process At Laing Family Dentistry, we believe in taking the time to find the right person — both for our team and for you. We are not in a rush to fill this position, and our hiring process may include multiple interviews with Dr. Laing and members of our team. Please note that an interview is not guaranteed. Applications that best demonstrate relevant experience, professionalism, and a desire to grow will be given priority. A thoughtful cover letter can also go a long way in helping us get to know you. If we do not move forward with you immediately, it does not necessarily mean the door is closed. We often revisit strong applicants as our practice continues to grow. Our goal is to find someone who sees Laing Family Dentistry as a place to build a career, not simply find their next job. About the Role Our Dental Hygienists are an important part of our patients' overall healthcare experience and play a significant role in building the long-term relationships our practice is known for. This is more than \"cleaning teeth.\" We want our hygienists to evaluate the whole patient, educate them about their oral health, identify potential concerns, communicate findings with our doctors, and help patients understand the importance of recommended treatment. We want someone who takes ownership of their schedule and patient care, enjoys building relationships, and takes pride in providing a 5-star experience. Our hygienists work closely with our doctors and clinical team while having the independence and trust to use their education and clinical judgment within their scope of practice. We also believe that great teams help one another. We do not believe in the phrase \"that's not my job.\" While your primary responsibility is providing exceptional hygiene care, we expect every team member to be willing to step in and help elsewhere when needed. Position Details Comprehensive Patient Care Provide thorough prophylaxis and periodontal maintenance appointments Perform periodontal charting and comprehensive periodontal assessments Identify signs of periodontal disease and communicate findings clearly to patients and doctors Perform scaling and root planing when indicated Take appropriate diagnostic radiographs Review medical histories and identify relevant changes or concerns Perform intraoral examinations and communicate potential areas of concern to the doctor Take intraoral photographs and utilize available diagnostic technology Apply fluoride and other preventive treatments as appropriate Educate patients regarding oral hygiene, periodontal health, preventive care, and home-care techniques Maintain accurate, detailed, and timely clinical documentation Patient Experience Build genuine, long-term relationships with patients Make patients feel comfortable, welcomed, and respected throughout their appointments Communicate in a way that is educational without being judgmental Help anxious patients feel comfortable receiving dental care Explain periodontal conditions and recommended treatment in a language the patients can understand Help patients understand the connection between oral health and overall health Provide the level of hospitality and attention to detail expected from a 5-star practice Treatment & Doctor Collaboration Communicate clinical findings effectively with our doctors Help identify restorative, periodontal, and other potential treatment needs Provide the doctor with an organized summary of findings before or during the hygiene examination Reinforce treatment recommendations and answer patient questions within the hygienist's scope Help patients understand why the recommended treatment is important rather than simply telling them what needs to be scheduled Work with the clinical and administrative teams to help patients successfully move forward with necessary care Technology & Continued Learning We believe technology should make dentistry better for both our patients and our team. Hygienists should be comfortable learning and utilizing the technology available within our practice.

This may include:

Digital radiography Intraoral photography Intraoral scanning CBCT imaging when appropriate Electronic clinical documentation Patient education technology Other new technologies and systems as they are introduced We expect our team members to participate in continuing education and remain open to learning new techniques, materials, technology, and approaches to patient care. Supporting the Team Our practice succeeds when everyone works together.

Our hygienists may occasionally help:

Turn over treatment rooms Sterilize instruments Stock clinical supplies Assist another clinical team member Help with patient flow Answer a phone or help a patient when necessary Complete projects, training, or other practice responsibilities We aren't looking for someone who keeps score of whose responsibility something is. We're looking for someone who notices when a patient or teammate needs help and is willing to step in. What We're Looking For The right hygienist for our practice is someone who: Takes pride in providing excellent clinical care Genuinely enjoys getting to know patients Is friendly, positive, and professional Is dependable and accountable Has excellent communication skills Is organized and attentive to detail Is comfortable educating patients and discussing periodontal disease Wants to continue improving clinically Accepts coaching and feedback well Enjoys working as part of a team Is willing to help wherever needed Wants to find a practice where they can grow and stay for years Hours 7:45 AM-5:00 PM, with the choice of an unpaid lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM.
