Job Description

Gorge Dental | Three days per week | Hood River, Oregon
At Gorge Dental, we believe excellent dentistry begins with genuine human connection. We want our patients to feel known, listened to, and cared for—not rushed through an appointment.

We are looking for a Registered Dental Hygienist who takes meaningful ownership of their patients’ health. The right person will enjoy developing long-term relationships while also providing thorough, clinically excellent care. This includes recognizing periodontal disease, clearly communicating findings, educating patients, and working closely with the dentist to develop and carry out appropriate treatment plans.

This position is ideal for a hygienist who is curious about their patients, takes pride in understanding the full clinical picture, and is willing to put in the effort required to help each patient achieve better long-term health.

What We Are Looking For

Strong periodontal assessment, charting, documentation, and patient-education skills
Confidence recognizing and communicating periodontal conditions and risk factors
A willingness to collaborate with the dentist on diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning
Ownership of periodontal therapy, reevaluation, maintenance, and continuity of care
The ability to explain clinical findings in a way that helps patients understand and participate in their care
A dependable, compassionate, and clinically conscientious approach
Strong communication skills and a collaborative team mindset
At Gorge Dental, relationship-based care and clinical excellence are equally important. We are not simply looking for someone to complete a hygiene appointment. We are looking for a hygienist who will advocate for their patients, contribute meaningfully to their care, and become a trusted part of our team.

If this approach to patient care resonates with you, we would be glad to meet you.
