Kids Teeth | Full-Time or Part-Time | Mount Pleasant, SC
If you've worked in general practice or a high-volume pediatric office, you know the routine: hopping between chairs, rushing patients through, scaling all day. That's not us.
At Kids Teeth, you care for one patient at a time, staying with each child from start to finish. No chair-hopping. No handoffs. Just the time and space to provide the kind of care you went into hygiene to deliver.
How Your Day Works
One hygienist, one patient. You stay with each child from start to finish. No chair-hopping, no handoffs.
Real, intentional time with every child. Your schedule leaves room for rapport, education, and connection—the parts of hygiene many of us loved in the first place.
Education over the rush. Teaching kids and parents healthy habits while building trust with families is at the heart of your day.
Light scaling. Most of our patients are children, so scaling is minimal. Your wrists and hands will thank you in year 15!
No sealants. Our doctors place them during scheduled operative visits.
What You Bring
- An active South Carolina dental hygiene license
- Current X-ray certification
- A positive, team-first attitude
Ready for a different kind of dental hygiene experience? Apply today—we can't wait to welcome you to the Kids Teeth family!
