Dental Hygienist

O'Brien Smiles, a single-doctor, locally owned general practice in Lakewood Ranch, FL, seeks a part-time dental hygienist to support its adult-focused, whole-health approach to oral care, including select late-adolescent and special needs patients. The role involves comprehensive hygiene duties—digital radiographs, prophylaxis and SRP, periodontal assessment and patient education—while maintaining efficient operatory turnover and infection-control standards. The position begins part-time with the opportunity to expand to four days per week as the practice grows, with typical hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and in-person patient care. Compensation ranges from $37.00 to $47.00 per hour. Candidates must hold an accredited dental hygiene credential and license, understand HIPAA, and demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills; preference given to those with at least one year of experience, though recent graduates will be considered.
