Original job description
As a Licensed Dental Hygienist (LDH) at Bite Family Dental, you'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients while playing an important role in their overall oral health.
You'll provide comprehensive hygiene care, but your role is about more than scaling and polishing.
We want our hygienists to help patients understand where they are, where they could be, and what might help them get there.
That means listening to the patient's story, educating without judgment, recognizing risk, communicating with the rest of the clinical team, and helping patients make informed decisions about their health.
You'll work in an environment that values:
- Genuine patient relationships
- Comprehensive preventive and periodontal care
- Patient education and communication
- Oral-systemic health
- Modern technology and evidence-informed dentistry
- Collaboration with the entire clinical team
- Continuous learning and improvement
