Full or Part-time Dental Hygienist Needed Job Posting

🦷 Dental Hygienist — Be a Provider in Whole-Body Health 🦷 At O'Shea Dentistry, we are growing and need to add another hygienist! Also, our hygienists are more than hygienists — they are providers, educators, and partners in a patient's overall health journey. If you're a Dental Hygienist who wants to practice at the top of your license, build meaningful relationships, and play a key role in whole-body care, we would love to meet you. ✨What Makes This Role Different We practice systemic and airway-focused dentistry, meaning oral health is never viewed in isolation. Our hygiene team plays a central role in: Helping patients understand the connection between oral and overall health Using salivary testing as a key diagnostic and educational tool Guiding patients through prevention, inflammation, nutrition, and risk factors Being an active voice in treatment planning and patient advocacy This is a role for someone who wants to think, educate, and lead — not just scale and polish. ✨Who You Are Curious, growth-minded, and interested in whole-body health Comfortable having thoughtful, educational conversations with patients A confident (or growing!) educator who enjoys explaining the why behind care A team player aligned with a collaborative, values-driven culture Experience with salivary testing or systemic dentistry is a plus — curiosity and openness to learning are most important. ✨ What We Offer One-hour recall appointments, two-hour NP appointments Supportive, respectful, team-first culture Ongoing training and commitment to lifelong learning Modern technology and a progressive clinical philosophy Competitive compensation based on experience Benefits Full-time or part-time opportunities available ✨ This Role May Not Be for Everyone (and That's Okay) This position may not be the best fit if: You're looking for a fast-paced, production-only hygiene role You prefer a model focused only on cleanings with limited patient education You're not interested in expanding your understanding of whole-body health That said, new graduates are absolutely welcome. You do not need to know everything on day one. What matters most is curiosity, openness to learning, and a desire to grow into the role of a true healthcare provider. We are committed to mentoring, training, and supporting you as you build confidence and depth in your practice. If you're excited by the idea of learning why oral health matters beyond the mouth, and want the time and support to do it well, this could be a wonderful place to start — or continue — your career. If you believe dental hygiene can change lives — not just smiles — and you want your work to reflect that belief every day, we'd love to meet you. 📩 To apply: Please send your resume and a brief introduction to [[sign in to DentalPost to see current contact info]], or if you are an overachiever - copy and paste - https://osheadentistry.com/our-team/ -scroll down to 'JOIN THE TEAM!' and hit the 'APPLY NOW!'

O'Shea Dentistry has been caring for patients in Decatur for over 50 years, and we are a single-location, privately owned practice with a great team that truly cares about our patients and each other. We believe dentistry is about more than teeth — we take the time to educate our patients, listen to what matters to them, and help them understand how their oral health connects to their overall health. We are big on lifelong learning, teamwork, and doing the right thing for the patient. We work hard, help each other, and want people on our team who take pride in the care they provide. We have a beautiful, modern 13-operatory office with great technology and a team that is always looking for ways to get better. Our hygienists are an important part of how we diagnose, educate, and care for our patients — this is not a “clean teeth and move on” hygiene department. We want our hygienists to build relationships, educate patients, and be part of the bigger picture of their health. If you love learning, want to be part of a team, and want to work somewhere you can make a difference for your patients, we'd love to meet you.
