Job Description

Dental Hygienist – Airway Focused Functional Dental Office

Are you a hygienist who believes dentistry can change lives far beyond teeth?

Our growing functional and airway-focused dental practice is looking for a compassionate, curious, and patient-centered Dental Hygienist who wants to practice in a thoughtful, relationship-driven environment where prevention, whole-body health, and education truly matter.

We are not a rushed “drill and fill” office. We believe oral health is deeply connected to sleep, breathing, inflammation, development, nutrition, and overall wellness. We are seeking someone who is excited to grow with a team that values both advanced clinical care and genuine human connection.

• Airway-centered dentistry.
• Functional and preventive care.
• Patient education and empowerment.
• Whole-body health connections.
• Long-term relationships with patients and families.
• A calm, positive, and supportive office culture.

Our patients value personalized care, and many are actively seeking answers regarding sleep, breathing, TMJ symptoms, oral development, inflammation, and systemic health connections.

Position Schedule:

• Wednesday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Additional days may become available as the practice continues to grow.

Who You Are:

• Believe prevention and early intervention matter.
• Want to work in a collaborative, growth-minded environment.
• Are interested in airway, sleep, myofunctional therapy, biologic/functional dentistry, or whole-body wellness.
• Experience with airway dentistry is wonderful but not required. We are happy to train the right person who is eager to learn.

Responsibilities:

• Provide exceptional periodontal and preventive hygiene care.
• Educate patients on oral-systemic health connections.
• Support airway and functional dental evaluations.
• Take diagnostic records including photos, scans, and radiographs.
• Help patients understand treatment recommendations with kindness and clarity.
• Collaborate closely with doctors and team members.
• Maintain detailed and accurate clinical notes.
• Create a calm, caring, and positive patient experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Comfortable with digital technology and modern dental workflows
• Experience with:
  • Airway dentistry.
  • Myofunctional concepts.
  • Salivary diagnostics.
  • Guided biofilm therapy.
  • Functional or biologic dentistry.
  • Open Dental or digital charting systems is a plus, but not required.

What We Value Most:

We can teach systems and clinical workflows. What matters most to us is:

• Kindness.
• Integrity.
• Emotional intelligence.
• Attention to detail.
• Reliability.
• A positive, team-oriented attitude.
• A desire to grow personally and professionally.

What We Offer:
