Dental Hygienist 3-4 days/week

Dental Hygienist (RDH) — 3–4 Days/Week | Farmington, CT
Are you a friendly, reliable team player who truly cares about your patients and their health? Are you looking for 3–4 days a week in an office that respects your time and your expertise? If so, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Farmington Village Dental is a single-location, privately owned (non-DSO, non-corporate) general dentistry practice looking for the right person to join our hygiene team. Fair warning: the doctors bring their dog to work, so a love of dogs is a must.

We're a small, four-operatory office that takes real pride in both patient satisfaction and clinical excellence. We believe in first-class, five-star service and in consistently delivering more than patients expect. We educate our patients and help them make healthy choices, we treat everyone with non-judgmental empathy, and we respect our patients' time. We know how demanding it is to treat patients all day, so we've built a considerate, compassionate environment that supports you both personally and professionally.

The schedule: Monday–Wednesday 8:00am–5:00pm and Friday 8:00am–1:30pm (about 28.5 hours/week). No evenings and no weekends!

See one patient at a time — no accelerated hygiene, no double-booking
