In this energetic and rewarding position, you will provide comprehensive hygiene services, educate patients on oral health practices, and support the overall efficiency of our dental practice.

Educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices, preventive care, and post-treatment instructions to foster long-term health. Maintain accurate and detailed electronic health records (EHR), including documentation review, medical coding, and treatment notes in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Manage infection prevention measures by sterilizing dental equipment, practicing strict infection control protocols, and ensuring a sterile environment at all times. Qualifications Valid state licensure as a Dental Hygienist with current certification to perform dental hygiene procedures. Proven experience with dental office software for charting, scheduling, and record management. Strong knowledge of dental terminology, anatomy, medical terminology, and dental equipment operation. Experience working in general dentistry settings. Excellent patient care skills with the ability to assess patient needs accurately and communicate effectively. Familiarity with healthcare infection prevention and control standards, including aseptic technique and HIPAA compliance management. Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, yet thorough environment. Embark on a fulfilling career where your skills make a meaningful difference! We are committed to fostering a positive work environment that values professional growth, teamwork, and exceptional patient service. Join us in delivering top-tier dental care while advancing your expertise in a supportive setting!
