Position Overview

Gentle Dental in Allentown, PA is looking for a confident, patient-first PRN (as-needed) Dental Hygienist who loves walking into a schedule with purpose and walking out knowing they made someone’s day better. If you’re craving flexibility, great pay for your time, and a role that fits your life (not the other way around), you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

In this role, you’ll deliver exceptional hygiene care, prophys, periodontal assessments, patient education, and prevention-forward coaching. You’ll collaborate with a supportive clinical team that values communication, positivity, and doing the right thing for every patient, every visit.

As a PRN Hygienist, you’ll support our offices on an as-needed basis (with the ability to travel between nearby locations.) That means you can pick up shifts that match your availability, build variety into your week, and enjoy the freedom of PRN work. We pair modern technology with a comfort-first approach, creating a feel-good dental experience that patients (and clinicians) genuinely appreciate.

  • Competitive PRN pay — earn strong hourly compensation for the shifts you take.
