Description

Are you a dental hygienist who’s tired of being treated like “just the person who scrapes teeth”? We are too. At BU Dental, we know hygienists are the MVPs of prevention. You're not a scaler robot—you're a biofilm-fighting, gum-saving, total-health-changing machine (with a license). We’re a wellness-based, prevention-obsessed office where we actually believe the mouth is connected to the body. Shocking, right? So what’s the gig? We’re looking for a motivated, curious, team-oriented hygienist who wants to make a real difference in people’s lives—not just clock in, polish, and peace out. What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Saving Lives One Cleaning at a Time): 🧪 Running salivary and bacterial testing like the detective you are 💨 Air polishing like a pro (or learning to if it’s new to you) 🔬 Zapping inflammation with lasers (yes, we have lasers!) 🧠 Educating patients about the oral-systemic connection 🎤 Using your voice to guide care—not just take orders What You Definitely Won’t Be Doing: 🚫 Getting micromanaged 🚫 Working with coworkers who steal your instruments 🚫 Wondering if what you do matters (spoiler alert: it does—a lot) This Might Be Your Dream Job If You: ✅ Google CE courses “just for fun” ✅ Get overly excited about patient wins (we do too) ✅ Enjoy learning weird things about bacteria ✅ Want to be part of a team where your ideas are heard ✅ Know you were meant for more than 30-minute prophy factories Experience? Cool. Passion? Required. We’re happy to train the right person if you’ve got the drive, mindset, and a willingness to learn (and you’re not afraid of a little biofilm). Perks & Benefits: ✔️ Flexible schedule ✔️ Access to the latest tech & tools ✔️ Continuing education support ✔️ Supportive, drama-free team ✔️ An actual lunch break (yes, we mean it) 📩 Apply with your resume and a quick note telling us your favorite dental instrument—or your go-to playlist for scaling. Bonus points for humor. Join a place where you’re not just a hygienist. You’re the reason our patients stay healthy.
