Job Description
At Clear Springs Family Dentistry, hygiene is about much more than cleaning teeth.

Our hygienists are healthcare providers who play an important role in diagnosing disease, educating patients, improving periodontal health, and helping patients understand the connection between their oral health and overall wellness.

We believe in quality over quantity. We're looking for an RDH who wants the time, technology, clinical support, and autonomy to provide exceptional care—not simply move patients through a hygiene column.

Responsibilities
Provide thorough, patient-centered preventive and periodontal care with an emphasis on comfort, education, and long-term health
Perform prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, scaling and root planing, and other hygiene therapies based on each patient's clinical needs
Perform comprehensive periodontal assessments, including periodontal charting, bleeding points, recession, mobility, and other indicators of periodontal health
Identify signs of periodontal disease and work collaboratively with the doctor to develop appropriate treatment recommendations
Educate patients about periodontal disease, caries risk, home care, nutrition, and the oral-systemic connection
Utilize modern preventive and periodontal technology, including GBT/AirFlow
Participate in our saliva testing program to help identify bacterial risk factors and guide individualized preventive and periodontal care
Take high-quality diagnostic radiographs and intraoral images according to clinical need and office protocols
Review medical histories, medications, vital signs, and relevant health changes that may affect dental treatment
Make individualized home-care recommendations based on each patient's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach
Partner with patients to help them understand the why behind their treatment, giving them the information they need to make informed decisions about their health
Maintain accurate, thorough clinical documentation in Open Dental
Work collaboratively with the doctor, clinical team, and business team to create a seamless patient experience
Maintain excellent infection-control, sterilization, and patient-safety standards
Build genuine relationships with patients and help create the kind of dental experience that makes them want to return
Who We're Looking For
We aren't looking for a "prophy princess" who simply wants to clean teeth and move on to the next patient.

We're looking for a hygienist who is curious, clinically engaged, and invested in improving health.

Our ideal hygienist:
Sees themselves as a healthcare provider, not simply someone who performs cleanings
Is confident identifying and discussing periodontal disease
Enjoys educating patients and helping them understand what's happening in their mouths
Wants to continue learning and growing clinically
Values prevention and early intervention
Understands that great patient care includes both clinical excellence and genuine human connection
Communicates confidently while remaining warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental
Enjoys working as part of a collaborative team
Takes ownership of their schedule, documentation, patient experience, and clinical recommendations
Is comfortable with technology and willing to learn new systems and techniques
Values doing things well—not simply doing them fast
Experience with Open Dental, GBT/AirFlow, periodontal therapy, saliva testing, and comprehensive preventive care is a plus, but we're happy to train the right hygienist who shares our philosophy.

A current Texas RDH license and required certifications are necessary.

What You'll Find at Clear Springs
Strong compensation that reflects the value you bring as a healthcare provider
A doctor who genuinely values and supports the hygiene department
Appointment times designed around providing excellent care—not simply maximizing volume
A well-developed periodontal program
GBT/AirFlow and modern clinical technology
Saliva testing and an emphasis on prevention and oral-systemic health
Continuing education, training, and opportunities to grow
A collaborative team that has your back
A privately owned practice where your ideas and contributions matter
Patients who notice—and appreciate—the difference
People Before Procedures. Quality Over Quantity.

We're not trying to be the fastest dental office in town.

We're building a practice where patients receive exceptional care and where great clinicians can be proud of the care they provide.

If you're ready to do more than "just clean teeth" and want to practice hygiene as the healthcare provider you are, we'd love to meet you.
