Workplace: on_site

Department: Myrtle Beach

Description

About the role
We are looking for a hygienist who takes pride in clinical excellence, connects with patients, and is someone the team can count on every day. You will have a full schedule, a supportive doctor team, and the tools and time to deliver great care.

What you will do

Provide prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, and scaling and root planing
Complete full periodontal charting and assess periodontal health at every appropriate visit
Take and review radiographs and intraoral images
Educate patients on their oral health and explain the “why” behind recommended care
Co-diagnose with the dentist and build treatment plans for periodontal and restorative care
Present treatment plans chairside, explaining what the patient needs and why, in plain language
Discuss fees, insurance estimates, and payment or financing options with patients, helping them say yes to care while the clinical conversation is still fresh
Administer local anesthesia [where certified and permitted by state]
Apply fluoride, sealants, and adjunctive therapies
Make sure each patient leaves with their next recare visit scheduled
Document accurately and completely in the patient record
Maintain your operatory and follow OSHA and infection control standards

What we need from you

Reliability. Regular, predictable, on-time attendance is an essential function of this job. When a hygienist is out, a full day of patients loses their care.
Presence. You are engaged and focused on the patient in your chair.
A good attitude. You stay positive and professional on busy days and take feedback well.
Team first. You communicate openly with doctors, assistants, and the front desk, and you help the whole office succeed.
Clinical ownership. You diagnose and treat periodontal disease by the standard of care, not by what is easiest.
Patient connection. You build trust, explain clearly, and are comfortable recommending treatment. Patients accept care when it comes from the clinician they trust.
Comfort with money conversations. You can talk about cost and financing clearly and confidently, without pressure and without handing it off.
Professional presentation. We hold a high standard for personal hygiene, grooming, and clean scrubs every shift.
