Job Description

Registered Dental Hygienist Wanted: Thinker, Educator, Leader

This is not a “just clean teeth” role.

We are looking for a hygienist who is genuinely passionate about their work and excited to practice at the top of their license in a collaborative, patient-centered environment.

At Beavers and Broomfield Family Dentistry, our hygiene team is the backbone of our practice. We are a well-oiled machine — calm, organized, and intentional — and our hygienists are leaders in our office and in our community.

What Hygiene Looks Like Here

In a Typical One-hour Appointment, Our Hygienists

  • Review and discuss medications and how they may impact the oral cavity
  • Assess airway, nasal breathing, lip seal, and tongue posture
  • Perform thorough evaluations of teeth and gums to identify potential concerns early
  • Take photos and/or intraoral scans and review findings chairside with patients
  • Communicate clearly and concisely with the doctor in a patient-centric way
  • Transition patients seamlessly to our business admin team, affirming findings, recommended treatment, and appropriate timelines
  • Educate patients while also meeting them where they are with realistic care options
  • All of this is done in a way that feels fluid and effortless to the patient — leaving them feeling genuinely cared for and confident in their next steps.
  • Who We’re Looking For

You May Be a Great Fit If You

  • Are passionate about oral health and patient education
  • Enjoy meaningful conversations and building trust with patients
  • Think holistically about health, prevention, and airway
  • Take pride in being thorough and detail-oriented
  • Thrive in a collaborative, respectful team environment
  • Value technology that supports your body and improves patient outcomes
  • Want to work in a practice where hygiene is trusted, respected, and elevated
  • Why You’ll Love It Here
  • Supportive, organized systems that allow you to focus on patient care
  • Advanced technology and protocols for excellent outcomes and ergonomic longevity
  • A team that values professionalism, warmth, and continual improvement
  • The opportunity to do work that truly matters — every day
  • If you love hygiene, love learning, and want to feel proud of the care you deliver, we’d love to meet you.
